can i get rid of this at all? i put a hairdryer in the back of it to dry the water out and it left dirty marks on the inside of the unit. theres also condensation marks on the inside of the glass so i guess the only way to fix this would be to unseal it?
how do i go about unsealing the glass? tried to force it apart but felt a bit tough

glue would soften before melting the plastic

Try taping one of those sachets with the balls in that you get in shoe boxes as a temp measure should help

balls

the drivers side one doesn't, not sure if they have done before though.
but as i've said, i took the orange bit out which ''could'' allow water to get in even though it never has, pictures explain it better:
