Yeah don't leave em in too long. I did, and the back has caved in, and I had to get my heat gun to melt and straighten out the brackets. Looks a right mess! :sick:

as in heating it to get the glass off the bloody unit :(
put it in the oven at 150 for 3mins, took out, burn hands, cut away as much as i could, bent loads of plastic, got annoyed cracked out the heat gun and nothing :(

150? I put mine in for 5-10 mins at 50 C, bit of leverage behind the glass and bobs your uncle

I don't know why they need to go in the oven personally. I always just run a Stanley knife around the seal and then gently prise the glass away with a flat head screwdriver. Done this loads of times and Snifferdog can vouch for this as he watched me do his !!!!  Takes seconds and no damage, then just remove the old seal and alls done.

i tried without heat but things started to crunch so i wacked them in the oven at 150 for 1 1/2 mins and they prised off no bother.

If they aren't Hella they may be pattern and can be an arse to split cause the glue is solid.

I've literally undone the clips and just pulled the glass off with my hands before.

Don't you have a spare set of the dual chambers that you were prepared to Joey and then sell Dom ??  Maybe a quicker solution for the op  :wink:
