The link above shows my shower light ceiling fixture looking straight
up and from the side. *As you can see there is nothing really to grab
tho I tried to twist it without success and then I tried to pull it
down but it seemed like it was fighting me. * It's fairly snug against
the ceiling and it's never been disturbed. * I'm guessing it needs to
be pulled down??? *If so, just wondering what to use so I don't ruin
the ceiling? * I don't really have fingernails.


In addition to what DD03 and Trader said, you can often push the glass
up slightly and get a screwdriver tip between the glass and trim, which
gives something to pull on


What everyone else said is 100% correct
