open up your owners manual and look twards the back were it tells you how to change the bulbs- thier is a diagram that shows you wich way to push. Im 100% sure it just snaps off...

Just pull the plastic cover off (there's no screws or anything) and undo the bolt that holds it on.

Same as stated above.
Plastic cover just pulls right off.
Then there are 2 bolts under there.

I'd just leave it alone and let the tinter remove it when he works on it - that 's part of what you're paying him to do. Let him have the 'trouble' (which it's not, it just pops off)
