The lens cover does come away from the reflectors, it's hard and you have to be gentle but firm - it's glued together with a mastic type substance.

Watch the reflectors though, the silver is a fine silver dust that comes off if you even think about breathing on it, and touch it at your peril!

More to the point, how did it get in!
