    Depending on your fixture, you may have to turn the glass clockwise. I tried counterclockwise and it won’t budge. After much frustration, I happen to try clockwise and it dropped in my hand without much effort. I took it off and put it back on several times, it sure needed a small twist clockwise to pop it out.

    Unfortunately I could not remove mine with the rubber gloves... it was on too tight. What I did was get my rubber ball-peen hammer and tapped on the metal ring around the glass globe. Don't tap too hard because this could dent the ring. Next, I hit the globe with glancing but strong taps in a counter-clockwise manner. Yes, it made black marks (a white rubber ball-peen hammer would be best) on the globe but these can be removed with glass cleaner. Success! It loosened the globe and I was able to remove it and clean the inside and change the bulbs to LED.

I had to try it few times before I was successful. I did not have any rubber glove so I used my bare hands, but, I made sure that my hands were dry and the glass lid was also dry

    Thank you. We had removed the whole fixture without removing the dome and then we couldn't get it attached again. After watching this video, we were able to remove the dome from the base even though it was just hanging there, clean the dome, put the base back on the wall after adjusting the screws a bit, and finally putting the globe back on the base. We still have another fixture to clean, but that should go much smoother.
