Mounting is Easy


After selecting Sideshield, some minor adjustments may be necessary to obtain proper fit. Our exclusive LivingHinge™, permits adjustments to larger, average and smaller frames.

1.) Insert LEFT temple through large loop of black mounting band on the inside LEFT Sideshield.


2.) Hold frame and sideshield firmly while stretching the band outward and back to fit into the retaining grooves and over the rear tab. (Fig. 2)

3.) Inspect the sideshield alignment to be certain the frame is centered between the top and bottom ribs. Then, repeat these steps for the RIGHT side.

4.) The sideshields are now affixed to the frame front and temples will fold without the Sideshields moving.
