I have heard that ECE assemblies may not have been assembled with the hard glue that was used in the US, though. You *might* be able to bake off.

If you are replacing the lenses, cutting the old ones and then removing the part that mounts in the channel afterwards is by far the easiest way.

If you are not replacing the lenses, I posted a DIY on here at some point. Google to the rescue, here Permaseal Opening DIY. It is not a pleasant job, but it is doable and not difficult. More tedious than anything else.
