FAQs
How often should I replace the foam tape?
It is recommended to replace the foam tape regularly, especially after it has become wet, or when you notice signs of wear, compression, or reduced sealing performance.
Is this foam tape compatible with all Bell helmets?
This foam tape is designed as a replacement for specific Bell helmet models. Please check your helmet's manual or Bell's official website for compatibility information.
Can I reuse the foam tape if I remove it?
Once applied, the self-adhesive backing is designed for a permanent bond. Removing and reapplying may compromise the adhesive strength and the seal.
What should I do if the adhesive is not strong enough?
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. If the adhesive still seems weak, it might indicate an issue with the product batch, or the helmet surface may have an unsuitable texture. Contact customer support if the problem persists with a new strip.
How many foam strips are included?
The packet contains two (2) self-adhesive foam strips.
Can I trim the foam to fit?
While it is best to use the strips as provided for optimal sealing, you could carefully trim them if absolutely necessary, but this may affect the seal's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Foam not adhering properly
Ensure the helmet's eyeport area is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or grease. Press firmly along the entire length of the strip for at least 30 seconds.
Drafts or leaks persist after installation
Check that the foam strips are installed correctly and have full contact with the helmet shell and visor. Ensure no part of the old adhesive is interfering with the new seal. Consider if the visor itself might be damaged or misaligned.
Foam tears during installation
Peel the backing slowly and carefully. If a tear occurs, use the second strip provided. Ensure the helmet surface is smooth and free of sharp edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup & Installation:
- Ensure the helmet's visor aperture area is clean and dry before application. Remove any old adhesive residue.
- Carefully peel one self-adhesive foam strip from its backing.
- Align the strip with the helmet's visor aperture and press firmly to ensure good adhesion. Work from the center outwards.
- Repeat with the second strip if necessary or save for future use.
Compatibility:
- This foam tape is specifically designed as a replacement part for compatible Bell helmets. Refer to your helmet's manual or Bell's official website for specific model compatibility. It is not intended for use with other helmet brands.
Care:
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners when cleaning your helmet. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the foam if necessary, and allow it to air dry completely.
- It is recommended to replace the foam regularly, especially if it becomes wet, as moisture can degrade the material and adhesive over time.
