Nope, unless you cut it off and re-glue it. The only way to get in there is with a bunch of Simple Green or Castrol Super Clean. Just spray some in and shake the living ba-jesus outa it. Its not going to get ALL of it, but it got most of the crap out of my lenses. I took it one step further and sanded/polished the faces of the lens. It looked great for a while, till a rock came up and smacked one of em
. Do a search on the board for polishing lenses and you'll find some info on how to do it if you'd like to try it out.

Loaded up the inside with Simple Green, shook till I couldnt shake no more, then shook alittle more. For the out side of them I just used Turtle Wax's Compound. Suckers look like they are brand new. $5 bucks in supples and about 3 hours of work ( I was board at work so I just kept compounding them) they look brand new. Beats paying some one 65 bucks for them
get someone to put them in a paint bucket shaker, and shake those bad boys with some green.
3 hours???, took me about 5 min with a electric buff wheel (not the kind you use w/ wax) and some plastic polishing compound. Have to love going to grandpa's house with all the goodies.

Mine were pretty crappy looking so it was going to take longer then 5 min to begin with. But like I said it was a slow day at work so I just sat there buffing those things. WHut else was I going to do? I prolly could have gotten done with them in like 20 but I was bored.
