Third Brake Light

I am getting moisture inside the third brake light on my 1998 F150. I want to remove the lens cover in order to replace the gasket to deter the moisture. Will someone please tell me how to remove the lens cover once it is unscrewed from the cab?

On my 2002 it's a sealed unit. I would dry it out with some compressed air by blowing the air into the light sockets. Then when it's all dry use some kind of silicone or epoxy to seal the edges and use some grease on the light sockets. I did this on my brother's camaro, he was getting moisture in one of the taillights from a small crack. It worked pretty well.
