lens question




What are these lenses called and where can I buy new ones? Every time I go over a bump they fall out. it's starting to get very annoying.

Thanks,
Keysguy

put them in a glass full of very warm/hot water. Heat them up for 4-5 minutes , then remove and gently flatten / spread the tabs outward and hold. Allow to cool and test for better fit. Repeat as necessary.

Good luck

Burg Boxster,

Thanks so much, I can't believe I didn't think of that. I've used that method to shape PVC. I did find it went alot better with VERY hot water. (boiling but not on the fire water)

I glued mine in when they kept falling out. Two years now and no problems.
