Thank you for that!

[s]I must say the light bleed on your Clara pre-fix looks a LOT worse than the bleed on mine, I'm quite surprised at how bad it is to be honest.[/s] Ah I didn't realise the "before" picture was actually the "after" picture without the bezel.

I tried your first solution by squeezing my Clara's bezel where the bleed shows and I saw the bleed disappear completely! How satisfying! It did sneak back slowly while I continued reading but I might just try your idea of a more long term squeeze/weight to see if the adhesive sticks better for a longer time.
