Seperating Corner Lenses
dah!! I have poked and proded at these damn things, and I cannot get them apart. I am trying to take the corner lenses apart to paint them black (much like the 5th gen ones) but I cannot find a way to seperate them. I have tried a hair dryer, and a heat gun, but all they do is start to melt the plastic, and not the adhesive. If ANYBODY has done this, please let me know how you took them apart. Thanks.

it is held together by super glue not ahesive so it will not melt.. you have to use a thin screw driver and pry it open VERY slow.. go around the edge multiple times.
