Taking off glass shades

Hello,
I own a 2004 Montana 3650RK fifth wheel.
I am trying to get the glass shades off to clean them.
How on earth do they come off??? There must be a trick...
I'm stumped..:😬😬😬
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank-You
Lisa

If you're regarding the ac powered lights over the dinette and couch (at least in my model), they have 3 round knurled thumb screws around the circumference that may need some persuasion to loosen.
If you're speaking of the ceiling lights that are dc powered and have 2 opposing bulbs, they slide back away from center and pop out. Hope this helps..

Hello sambam
I am referring to the ones above the dinette, kitchen island , and above the slide in the living room area. Mine do not have screws on them. It looks like a clip in the inside of the shade, but it is too small to get you fingers in there.
I have pictures of them, just don't know how to send them.
I'm new to this site.
Thank You for your help.

Here are the pics, there are no screws on the top, just a gold ball that does unscrew. There're must be a tool for the inside of the light to pull the clamps together. HELP!!!!
Thanks

maybe you just pull the glass down and that pulls the two sides together?

It still won't come off due to the clip and gold ring in the inside, and both are to big to fit through the hole in the glass shade.
I'm wondering if there wasn't a tool that had to be used to get the shades off.
