if you can remove them, glue them in a jig, and heat them gently

Actually, I bought 100 of the tiles just now. If I'm gonna 'remove' it, I
may as well replace it!

Here is a picture of a new one.

I guess I'm now morphing to the idea of replacing them.

They only have a single hole ... it's on top ... in the middle. One nail.
Also one wind-hold-down hook on the bottom (which hangs off the prior
tile).

Can anyone point me to a howto for replacing a single roof tile of this
type? (Claymax, US Tile company). Yes, I have an email pending to their
sales department.
