Default Tail light problem HELP!!!!

alright guys and gals, i looked for an answer so if its been done sorry.... anyways, i have the trd tail lights, last winter one got ice in it and the factory replaced it. However they made it a point to say that because it was installed after shipment, the warenty only lasts 3 months. Well its the next winter and what do ya know, i got a ice block in the damn things covering the bottom inch of the right light (btw the left one is still the original and has never had a problem). So heres my delima, I don't wanna buy another light so i took it out and tried to melt the ice, however theres water all over the place now and its leaving water spots on the inside, I figured if i could somehow get the clear cover off the front the rest disasembles easily to a point where i could fix it and put a better sealent on it so it dosnt happen again, however being a pansy and not wanting to break the damn thing i cant get the cover off, ive tried heating it with a heat gun and no dice.... any ideas anyone!?!?!?!?!?!?

The cover will not come off. You will have to use a dremel and cut it off. Look for yellowhoodie's Custom '08's thread...should see how to do it and reseal it there...good luck
