Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide shows how to replace a temple arm (temple) on Ray-Ban Aviator RB3025 sunglasses. Each temple is attached to the metal front by a hinge with one screw.
The RB3025 is made in several lens sizes and colours. Read the code printed on the inside of the temple arm (for example RB3025 001 58□14) and take a photo of it before ordering, so that the new temple matches the frame.
Replacement temples are sold as original Ray-Ban temples and as compatible (non-original) temples without the Ray-Ban logo.

Open the glasses and rest them on a light-coloured cloth with the hinge in view.
-
Unscrew the hinge screw anticlockwise with a precision screwdriver and keep it safe.
-
Lift the old temple arm out of the hinge.

-
Place the new temple in the hinge with the holes lined up. The curved tip must point down and inwards, like the tip of the other temple.
-
Insert the screw and tighten it until the temple is held firmly but still opens and closes smoothly.
-
Try the glasses on. If one side sits differently, bend the temple tip gently, in small steps.
-
Overtightening makes the hinge stiff and can strip the screw.

-
If you are replacing both temples, do one at a time: the temple still fitted shows the correct position and curve for the new one.
