Just curious. I’m trying to get all the broken glass out of one. I can pick and scrape it all out, but it’ll take hours. Then I have to do another non-broken one. Anybody know any tricks? I thought I’d heat it up, but I don’t want to melt the housing (it’s plastic). The damn glass is held in with I think windshield urethane. The glass slices through even my leather welding gloves, so … the less “Just grab and pull” ideas the better. Heh, tried that already. ---

I’m not sure if its close to being the same but when I was blacking out the inside of an is300’s headlights we stuck it in the oven for like 20mins so the sealant would loosen enough to take it apart. The plastic casing was perfectly fine. ~B ---
