How to fix bent or crooked Oakley Radar frames?

[OakleyFreak]

Anyone know how to straighten out Radar frames?
One arm is raised when laying flat on a table with no lens in them

I thought maybe some warm to HOT water before trying to reform them.

I warm the frame with hot water and hold in shape until cold

Ill give that a go
Did it work ok for you?

 

[GavinL]

Yes, multiple times

I just trim my sideburns to make it look like one ear is higher than the other and it all balances out.


Sent from smartassland where I should STFU

Cool
Thanks

I scored 2 new polished black frames on the bay for $39 shipped each.
he showed them as being twisted and out of shape.
I was sure warm water and some patience would fix them.
Prob gonna paint these custom this summer

Do you know what I need to do to get the arms off?

I think its the same procedure as removing Fuel Cells Antix Dispstches arms.
