Removing the map lights

I know this doesn't directly apply to the head unit, but does anyone know how to remove the map light console from the headliner without damaging it or the headliner? I want to take it down, modify slightly and put it back. I don't see any screws holding it in place.

Help?

I went to the Ford dealer today and asked them how to take the map light console down from the roof. They told me they did not know. Amazing.
