Default JDM stanley corner repair..Help

Ok so I received this item and it appears the reflector is detached but I think after a 2nd glance that I could repair this. It appears that the reflector got detached in shipping. It doesn't appear broken or cracked. I think I would have to bake to remove lens cover and re-attach with some silicone. Anyone have any other ideas? .Everyone's input is appreciated. I never baked stuff so a brief instruction would be appreciated. Here are a few pics FYI- They're Stanleys

The red outline is what I think is the reflective cover

The blue is where I think the reflector was sitting on

Toss it in the oven at 100 degrees for 20 minutes, peel the lense back, glue the reflector back on, then glue lens back on.

I prefer doing about 250 degrees for just a couple of minutes.

After 2 minutes, i'll pull it out (thats what she said) and GENTLY pry apart w/ a flat head. If its still not soft, put it in for another minute or so.

Just depends on the glue used and the thickness of plastic. Careful!

with a heat gun you run the risk of cracking or melting the lens

Ok.. Thanks guys. I'll try this this weekend at 200+ and let you know how it goes. I also heard of putting a damp towel to help with the heat on the lens
