Cheers mate, I'll give it go tonight now that I know they're not permanently sealed :laugh

if you heat them up too much (like i did) the plastic will melt too, if you don't heat them enough (like i did) then the glass will crack when you try and lift it out with a screwdriver! you need to just warm it up until the glue is about as soft as chewing gum, it will still need a lot of force to lift it out, but if you don't heat it at all you will just break the glass or plastic

All done (Y). Although I did what you did on one of them Nex, and managed to melt the plastic on one side. Nothing a bit of silicone sealant won't solve :laugh:. Glad I didn't break the glass though, that could have been expensive. Pics will be up on my blog in the morning :grinning:. Cheers for the advice lads (Y)
well done! yea the plastic does melt but actually if you have a small, focused heat gun you can just bend it straight back. but i bet you noticed how strong the glue is, it could break the glass!
do some research on sealants, i used silicone once (clear stuff) and it just dried out and fell off, i used some black stuff that i cant remember the name of and it is like the worlds most strongest bond ever, nothing will ever get through it!

It was all simple.
