Take a long large screwdriver or a hose removal tool your choice, take the screwdriver and come from the front and wedge between the shade end and mount turn the screwdriver compressing shade. (In design it's the same as a window shade) with it compressed wiggle the shade out.
Or if you use the hose hook you can come from either side again compress the end and wiggle out
