yes this is what I do with all of the lights I open up WITH THE ADDITION of 1 bead of silicone after the fact.

So when you're ready to put it back together, press it back as best as possible. throw it in the oven for about 10 minutes to reactivate the old sealant, and you'll be surprise how tight you can get it back together. let it cool off, add a bead of clear silicone for insurance and you're set!

this is almost a full proof system, essentially you'll have double the amount of sealant now
