Headlight mount/rubber straps

[Jakobi]

Has anyone here removed the rubber straps from a headlight shroud without a) busting the headlight, or b) busting the shroud.

I have a spare 2013 shroud that I'm considering mounting to my 2018, keeping the actual headlight, indicators, etc clean and new. I don't use the light anyway. To do so I need to remove the rubber straps, without damage to either.

The other option is I just order a second pair. Ref.BE25636015

A little silicone will help removing the straps.

That's what I was thinking. Have some nice slick silicone grease here...

Yes, I have done this several times. No problem.

Sweet as. Bit of silicone and then a good push with the thumb should do it!

Turn the lights down, some smooth jazz,
