Troubleshooting
Retainer feels too loose on eyewear.
Ensure you are using the correct port on the temple end for your frame size. Try the other port or adjust the position on the temple arm for a tighter fit.
Retainer is difficult to attach.
Gently stretch the silicone port over the temple arm. For very thick frames, you may need to apply steady pressure. Ensure the frame arm is clean and dry.
Retainer slips off during activity.
Check that both ports are fully engaged with the temple arms. Consider if the frame shape is compatible with the retainer's design. Ensure the temple arms are not excessively worn or slippery.
Silicone has become sticky or dirty.
Clean the retainer thoroughly with mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry completely. Avoid exposure to oils or solvents.
