License plate light C70

One of my license plate lights is out because the bulb (it appears) has come out of the socket (it rattles when the trunk is closed). I removed the two torx screws but the lense is embedded in rubber and doesnt want to come out. When I gently pull on the rubber the entire light assemble acts like it wants to come out but doesnt. It seems as if I will break it if I try any harder. The license plate light on my V70 has one torx screw which easily allows the lense to swing open. The C70 has a different light assembly. Anybody know how to get to the bulb? Is there a screw behind the assembly? Am I just not pulling hard enough? Do I need to free the the lense from the rubber seal?

You have to remove the entire lens assy along with the rubber gasket. The gasket usually sticks to the trunk lid pretty well. Once the assy is out you peel back the gasket to get to the bulb.
