headlight cover / eyelid
my car came with these Strosek headlight covers. does anyone know if they can be removed without damaging the headlight?
i will ship them to anyone who wants them if i can get them off.

i'm fairly certain that it's bonding cement (according to strosek rep, fred opert). thanks for the hair dryer idea. i bought the car sort of sight unseen (save your criticism, it's acutally a good car), so i was irritated when i saw the pontiac-esque headlight covers. fred opert claims that his glue is permanent. so i'm wondering if anyone has specific experience with strosek headlight covers. it's a stretch, but i figured before i deface my 996...
assuming the heat gun/hair dryer softens up the glue, would a razor blade remove the glue residue without harming the headlight lenses?

There should be away to remove it but then you probably need to polish your headlights which you can do with an orbital buffer and some chemicals. Try posting this on renntech, they may be able to help you too.

To remove the cover, you'll need to use rafia strings.
I learn this from a signboard maker & done it on my car.
I can email some pic & show you how to do it step by step.
It will not damage or scratch your lens.
