Default XR Headlight Covers - Fitting

For all of you who have headlight covers on your XR6/8 - how do you go about getting 'em to fit properly?

The shape/curve of my covers doesn't match the shape of the body (headlight cutouts) so no matter how you position them there's always gaps around the edge where it doesn't seat/seal properly. Most ones I've seen seem to be like this (which is a bit dodgey!)

Possible to heat 'em and re-shape 'em to fit?? I was thinking maybe I could just take the rubber seals off 'em and trim/file the edges of the plastic where they actually contact the body so after enough trimming they should sit down neatly all round (with rubber seals back on). Only other thing I can think is to seal 'em with a bead of black silicone but that'd make it a pain to get 'em off again etc.

What did you guys do??

Thanks.

Steve.
