2 options:

1) Dry out the inside by air drying or taking a cloth and wiping inside using a screwdriver or such to move the cloth. Then resealing it with silicone at all the seams.

2) Buy a new/used lens. :)

Perhaps you can consult the shop that fixed your car. Most of the time, they warranty the work.

This Body Shop was full of idiot! My insurance recommended them, and they did do a good job, but I don't think they will help me....but I guess I'll try to mention something.

Chances are REAL good they'll warranty the work since it's affiliated with an insurance company. Here in California, I believe it's mandatory that they offer a warranty on the work. I'm not quite sure, but I can check on the papers I have over the weekend.
