I tried that, the glue/sealing (however you call it) is not reacting to heat anymore like the headlights in the other joey mods , eg. the Mini which I done myself too. It even feels like sealing is getting harder if you heat it.
So if somebody figures out what the activator is to get this glue/sealing soft to able to open, please let me know.
I asked some worhshop guys in my network to get me a broken headlight of the LCI to be able to experiment, but till now nobody has a broken one.
