How to fix the Broken Temples of Silhouette Sunglasses?

 


Drill-mounted glasses can be intimidating to disassemble and fix; however, they're more accessible than you think. It's crucial to be gentle and precise to avoid scratching or breaking the lens. However, it's possible.

The problems with the temple or arm could be an arm that has snapped, a badly bent arm, a loose arm (when it wobbles due to the bushing or screw breaking), or a broken hinge. Before purchasing a new one, be sure to be aware of the design and length of the arms.

Before beginning repairs, examine your lenses to see any cracks. If you notice any fractures in the drill holes or the vicinity, the glasses are not repairable with a new lens.

If you're planning to fix the temple on your own, look at online tutorials that will guide you through the procedure. There are various methods to follow, and some don't require specific tools. Still, you'll need a small poking tool, roughly what the dimensions of a thumbtack, to rid the drill holes of any component and a clipper or plier for cutting off bushing, and pliers protected by the protection of rubber to avoid damage to the lens. At the same time, you press the two parts together.

For you to get the idea of how to repair the glasses yourself:

Remove the temples and arms:

  • Cut the soft plastic bushing from the inside and back of the lens.
  • After you have the back part of the bushing removed, you will be able to easily slide the arm or temple.
  • Get rid of any pieces stuck in drilling holes, such as left-over plastic bushings or the broken section of the screw with your pin. Make sure the space is free of dust.

Fix the arm/temples using brand-new components:

  • Use the new bushings to gently push them through the back inside the lens until the two plastic prongs protrude from towards the front.
  • With clippers, trim the excess bushing off.
  • Put the new screws for the arm or temple within the bushings through the drilling holes.
  • With the pliers, squeeze gently, pressing enough pressure to pull the components together but not enough to harm the lens.
