What do you guys do when the xs lens shim in the orbital is gone.are there guys out there who sell it?
Make a rubber shim ?

I used a tiny strip of electrical tape. Worked great.

Solution....small rubber tubing cemented in..it fits in the casted groove nice and takes up any slack in the different size lens cuts....

I think that's a good idea. But the important question is is it durable or not? This solution is more feasible.

I think it will be more complete in terms of durability and aesthetics.

Well,the original rubber from the factory almost always deteriorates....so anything has to be better.

I think that's a great solution, Marc. It allows the lens to fit snugly, with a slight difference in lens size, which the rubber should 'fill'.

The OEM adhesive foam doesn't really do much.and after time turns to sticky glue.
