How to Order and Install Nose Pads with Seek Optics
Ensure your sunglasses remain comfortable and functional with the right replacement nose pads. Follow these steps to determine the correct type and install them with ease.
Step 1: Determine Your Mounting Style
First, check how your current nose pads are mounted to your sunglasses. Removing the old pads will help you identify the mounting type and measure them for proper sizing. Use this information to select the appropriate replacement from Seek Optics
Installing Screw-In Nose Pads
Screw-in nose pads attach with small screws (typically 1mm). Follow these steps:
- Partially unscrew the screw on the nose stem to release the old nose pad. Avoid removing the screw completely to prevent losing it.
- Insert the new nose pad in the same orientation as the original, aligning the tab with the receiver.
- Re-tighten the screw to secure the nose pad.
Installing Push-In Nose Pads
Push-in nose pads snap into place. Here’s how to replace them:
- Gently pull the old nose pad off the stem, holding the stem firmly to avoid bending or breaking it.
- Insert the new nose pad into the receiver and press it firmly into place.
- If needed, use a cloth-covered set of pliers to gently push the pad into the receiver.
Installing Rubber Molded Nose Pads
Rubber molded nose pads often clip into the frame. Here’s how to replace them:
- Pull off the old nose pad and align the new one with the frame receiver.
- Firmly press the new pad into place until it clips securely.
If exact replacements aren’t available, consider using a moldable alternative like Sugru for a custom fit.
