Howdy. A new poster here. Owned 3 pairs of Oakleys so far dating back to 2000. First pair lasted a long time and sadly got lost. Then I got a set of Whiskers which managed to go through both a frame + lens replacement over time before I finally lost one of the lenses in the second set (which would get loose regularly, btw) and retired them altogether. They were comfortable but not particularly well built.
So I went to my spare Tinfoil Ferraris which I rarely used. They lasted a few months of relatively heavy use (I live in California). The earpiece broke off today (pic attached). Gluing it useless as it's obviously a piece that gets stressed a lot during hinge action and no glue will hold it for very long. I wish it used screws, would've been easy then but nope, they used those rivets. I can't seem to find a frame but honestly I'm reluctant even if I did because it will probably break again. Hopefully you guys have more answers on fixing these than me. Thank you.
