What I always did was bake them at 300* for a few minutes until the factory adhesive melted. Took them apart and let them cool down. Then, I use Clear Silicon to seal everything up. Haven't had a leak in 3 years and never any condensation. Even here with the 100% Humidity. Use your finger and clean up anything Silicon that doesn't look good and use your finger to run it down in the crack. You can't even tell I have Silicon on them.
