Fixing the tincan arm

[urundai]

Anyway to fix this tincan arm? Only one arm, the red rubber material is peeling off. My thoughts are to use some of JB Weld kind of thing and then file it to shape but if anyone has better suggestions or thoughts, I am interested to learn what else can be done.

Love the frame and would like to keep it since I just bought the lens to replace as well (rubber broke off a week after the lens replacement). Ignore the second sunglass as picture was taken for a different reason.

First of all, welcome to the forum

I really don’t know what’s taking place. Why do you have two pairs of sunglasses in a picture but only one has an issue?

Thank you @Msgt Oakley for the reply. I have edited the first post to include images without the 2nd sunglass.

Also, I landed on the same ebay listings when I searched but the model I have (OO6017, Tincan Carbon) seems to have the rubber cushion (red part) integrated into the metal arm. There are no separate socks and I am not sure if oo4082 socks would fit.

It seems the only option is to rebuild the rubber part with some kind of adhesive (why I mentioned JB Weld) unless any of the experts here have a better and easier approach to fix this.

For anyone with same problem on this model, I was able to use the OO4082 ones posted earlier, strip off some more of the red rubber from the arm and voila - looks pretty good. My two arms look different but minor problem and no one will likely notice
