is it hard work?
how long did it take you?

hey black019 there's instructions on maximadriver.com on the how2 section
Don't use a heat gun.

An oven at 250 degrees (glass facing down) works WAY better.
Preheat oven first.
Put it in for 10 minutes. Try using oven mits to take it apart with your hands.

If that doesn't work, heat for another 3-5 minutes, try again.

Do NOT use any prying tools. ONLY use your oven mits and hands.

Open it up, clean it out with a soft cloth, put the pieces back in the oven for 2 minutes (to heat the glue back up.)

Then put it back together.

I do this once a year to keep them nice and shiny.

Viola!

Really? Maybe you did it for too long...

It stinks when I do it, but the smell never sticks around.

I did that when I had condensation in one of my clear corners. Put it in the oven on the lowest setting for about an hour. Removed all the condensation and I re-applied some more silicon...so far so good!!
