Repair inside of tail light housing possible?

Just wondering if it is possible to take apart a tail light housing to repair it. One of the turn signal reflectors/covers appears to have come loose inside the housing.

I just took my tail lights apart over the weekend because of the same thing.
What happens is the little tab that holds them in place breaks. I think you could probably glue them back into place, if you really wanted to. But you'd have to find a glue that would hold up to some heat and some vibration... maybe an epoxy.
I ultimately decided to remove the non-broken ones from the other side, so that the lights would at least match. Now I have "clear" turn signals.
There are lots of DIY on removing the lights. It's pretty straight forward. I think I only needed a phillips head and a T20
