you are gunna have to pull them back apart and reheat. you may be able to spot heat it though with a heat gun and just go around it slowly pushing it together. i use a black silicone though and just put it in the crease just incase. if you wiper the excess away while still wet, you almost do not see it at all.

I bought adhesive silicone from HD Racing (home depot) and they are super strong and holding up great so far...(3 years)

I have tried using the silicone, unfortunately didn't work for me. That's why I opened them up again and now gonna seal with 3m ribbon that I just picked up. I was told by a dealer to use this 3m stuff.

But thanks for your input bro.

If it was anything like the factory sealant, I would avoid it and stick to the silicone.

The factory sealant was $30 worth of mess and headache. It is too much sealant and as it softened it became very messy.

If I had it to do over again, I would make the silicone work.
