headlamp assembly disassembly

I have a 2005 Vibe. The headlamp lens has come loose from the rest of the housing (you can grab the bulb connector and wiggle the lens around in the housing). 1. What holds the lens in the housing and 2. If I remove the assembly and open it, would it be repairable or is replacement a better option? Thanks!

speaking from a guy who has opened up several headlights, my guess is the reflector bucket poped out of the ballsocket that it pivots on when an adjustment is made.You have two options.one, remove headlight from car, bake it open and see if it's repairabletwo, remove headlight from car, replace with ebay fine. <<<easier

Thanks! Sorry, it took me awhile to get back here. I ended up back at Carmax and somehow they seemed to have fixed it... maybe you can pop the lens back in the socket without a disassembly??

nope not possible has to be opened up... my guess is the bulb was just not put in correctly if they were able to fix it.
