Most of the time aftermarket lenses are bonded with a high heat "mush" that if you heat up can seperate the lense then heat it up again and re-seal the lense to the piece.

I was just wondering if maybe you knew because I am really anxious to get this piece, but only if I can work it to my needs.
I'm sorry but i don't know the answer to that question. The lip where it would separate is covered by the black rubber gasket which is glued in place, so i couldn't see what was goin on under there for fear of breaking the water-tight seal.

Sorry I couldn't help u there.
