How to remove this type of ceiling light cover?

Question

Hi all,

I have been trying to remove the glass cover of this ceiling light but it just won’t come off.

There are no screw. I can push it in but then it wasn’t able to slide off because of the frame.

Any suggestions and advice on how to remove this glass cover?

Many thanks in advance! 
Tommy

Thank you community for all your inputs. I really appreciate it!! The glass could not pass through the frame and we could pull the frame down. We could not really visualise the clips until we pulled the whole frame down and hold the clips together to get the frame out of the clips. Thank you all again for your help!

Hey @tommyw

Not 100% sure that glass pulls down and is held by clips just due to the fact it pushes back up if clips held it I would tend to think it would limit the amount of upward travel.

I seem to think the whole base comes down and might be held by clips having a base plate then the side and glass plate as one section. I could be wrong but worth a try. Grab opposite sides of the fitting and gently pull down to see if it feels like it moves like its held by clips otherwise look for grup screws that maybe holding it up.

Failing that I suggest the following tool 😉
