i just left it there and reused it to seal them back up. worked great. that is if you use the oven each time to soften it.

i jus left it on, sealed with RTV silicon, and pushed it back together very hard.
Its been 1 - 1.5 years and my headlights are sealed better than from the factory. I have seen people who get moisture in their headlights with OEM ones in other cars, but I never have.
