subject: Repairing Sunglasses: Ray Ban Parts [print this page] If you have a pair of Ray Bans and they have become damaged, you probably want to find some replacement Ray Ban parts instead of buying an entirely new pair, especially with the steep cost of them. Ray Ban was founded in 1937 and their aviator style was used for the United States Air Force, and still is. You can see them in all kinds of Hollywood films and on the faces of celebrities everywhere. But what happens when you accidentally sit on yours? What are you going to do if they slide off your face and onto the ground, shattering or scratching a lens?
First of all, it needs to be said that you do not have to even buy replacement Ray Ban parts if your sunglasses are missing some piece and the lenses are not cracked, scratched or chipped. As long as the lenses are fine, you can take your damaged specs to a dealer and get a new pair for free in exchange. They will only let you do this if the lenses are not damaged. If the lenses are damaged, you can order replacement lenses or scrap the things altogether and buy a new pair.
However, if you are missing something as trivial as a small screw or a rubber ear piece, you can usually find these Ray Ban parts by contacting the company and ordering them. Depending on the part, they may be readily available or they might be on back order. If they are on back order, it will be up to you to decide how long you are willing to wait for those parts. If they are available, it wont take any time at all for them to send the replacements out to you. There are also some websites on the Internet that sell replacement parts, but you have to be careful about which sites you shop with.
For starters, some websites sell official Ray Ban parts, so the parts are going to be guaranteed by the company. These companies are the reputable authorized dealers for the sunglass manufacturer. If you want Ray Ban parts and only those parts, make sure you get them directly from the company itself or only from an authorized dealer.
Just remember that if something happens to anything but the lenses, you can go exchange them. However, the companys official website does say that scratched lenses are normal wear, and those are not covered under any warranty. If you need replacement lenses and you absolutely do not want to buy a new whole pair of sunglasses, you need to call Ray Ban directly and see how to go about purchasing the Ray Ban parts you need to make your eye wear as good as new.
