The only way to do it is remove them, stick them on a radiator over night, make sure they are nice and dry, then use a good quality clear sillicone sealent and run round they entire edge, cleaning any smearing as you go, make sure you go all the way around. Also make sure its good quality sealent so it doesnt go mouldy.

I had to do this to mine, it seems to be a rare occasion that they dont leak, you could have kept goldfish in both of mine. :D
