Start by removing the two Philips head screws. There are two retaining pins that still are holding the cover on so it will not just pop right off. The retaining clips are on the oposite side from where the two screws are so you pretty much have to jiggle the tail light assembly to the side to remove it. To reinstall, just line back up the retaining pins to their respective sockets then reinstall the two Philips head screws.
The trick is the light assembly must be pulled outward. For example: If you are standing at the right taillight, you must pull the assembly to your right outward (after you remove the screws of course). I used a plastic, childrens knife to kind of wedge it in there as to not damage the paint. Hope this helps.
Thanks, this worked for my 2004 MPV. To clarify, the hidden pins face right and left. By wedging a plastic piece on the far side from the screws and prying starting at the bottom of the rail light assembly and moving towards the top the assembly pops out nicely.
Having just broke the assembly following these instructions I should add a clarifier that outward really means sideways and NOT to the rear of the car.
