Apparently so. The oven softens the glue to allow them to be cut apart. Beware of burnt, and cut fingers, and lots of swearing

I tryed it today but didnt really work :(

i will try again see how i go.

Anyone know a diffrent way?

Hiya

You need to put them in for longer there are other posts on here that say how long to put them in for I think it was 20min 45 is the temp they need to be

Yep as above oven is the best way, you can use a heat gun/hair dryer, but this takes longer and results in chipped glass as no doubt the heat wouldn't spread right, and trying multiple times to lever it off will end with chips and shards of glas on your fingers.

Pre heat the oven and pop it in for at least 15 minutes.but beware, do not remove them from the car and whack them straight in the oven as they will shatter, instead let then warm up inside the house, or run them under warm water. When you take them out, do yourself a favour and use an oven mit or towel, as you WILL burn your fingers, and if your really lucky you might even drop the light onto the floor.

Use a flat head screwdriver or a strong knife along the bottom edge and lever it up then fold the glass over the top edge. Any glue that's loose should be either put back into the channels, or onto the glue on the glass. Then once youve cleaned in out, press the two sides together as much as you can then place it in there face down, then again, once it's out press them together again.
