Old bathroom light fixture - cover removal

    Pics Here (Imgur acting up)....https://ibb.co/album/bEbCFa

    There's an old light fixture in an under-stairs toilet that that I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove without breaking it!

    It's glass and plastic and the glass is fairly thick. I thought maybe the glass comes out from the front but I don't want to force it and crack the plastic on the sides.

    I removed a cover on the left side to reveal what's in pic 1. I'm guessing the two metal prongs allow removal of the bulbs but the way it's installed there's not enough room to pull them out even if that works.

    Any ideas?

    He did, but it's on imgur and for some reason the thumbnail doesn't appear.

    Generally you prise back left and right plastics and the glass pulls out.
