just pop off the backing as if you were trying to change the bulb. park it in the sun and let it sit for a few hours. good as new.

Permanent fix? That would be to get them resealed. You can either bake them or use a heat gun to get the glue hot and separate it. I'd recommend the heat gun so you don't accidentally melt the housing. Clean the insides, dry it up, snap them together and reseal. Done.
