The stuff is really handy to keep around for a lot of fixes around the house. You can pick it up at pretty much any hardware or big box home store. Its usually about $10 for a can that lasts for ever.

Mine did the same and i just used super glue, i used the gel so it didn't make a mess.

 

Mine also did it. I was pissed. $90 and they are only 2 years old. I used 3m 2sided tape and its holding up well. Dealer said superglue and similar products would eat the foam. He was going to contact 509 for warranty info. I'll update later when I head over there. Some of my cheapo sets are 6+ years old and they are still going strong.

 

I have a brand new pair bought his year and worn three weekend that did it

I use the same stuff, works great. Just glued the foam back on a pair of Scott goggles.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Yea, I am pretty disappointed that the goggles are separating on me. For what they cost, I would think that they should be a little bit more durable. My old Scott brand goggles lasted much longer, and were used a lot more as well! They were actually still useable when I bought the sinisters, but the strap was stretched out pretty bad and I wanted a set of goggles w/ foam that would seal up in my helmet better than the Scotts (they were for mx)

I had thought about the spray adhesive, thing is that the foam is NOT completely removed from the goggle, and it'd make one hell of a mess if I tried to spray it on w/ the foam still attached in spots. So I either need to find a "super glue" that won't eat the foam or just carefully remove the foam from the plastic so I can spray it and then re-stick.

The two sided tape would probably work well to, I have used some of the really hi-tack tape before, and that stuff sticks extremely well!

dirtbubbles, I would be extremely unhappy if my goggles had done this as quickly as yours! Will yours be warrantied?

 

I had the same problem last weekend. I took my Sinisters out of my 509 helmet. I had to peel off the duct tape that I had used on the inside of the helmet. When I did that foam separated from the goggles very easily. It looked like it was initially held in via double sided tape.

So I used double sided tape that I cut to match the width of the foam to re-seal. Seemed to work well.

My wife used them to XC ski in the middle of the snow storm today and had no complaints.

Yes, my open face is on the shelf, and my googles are now being used for XC skiing.

 

Just some more info here, I emailed 509 customer support w/ my problem and they replied w/ this.

"We have tried using a few different types of glue on the foam to attach it back to the frame of the goggles. The only thing we have had any luck with is either hot glue or double sided tape. "

I'm going to go the hot glue route first because if I were to go w/ double sided tape, I'd have to completely remove the foam from the goggles and put on the tape so it exactly fit the shape of the foam/frame (yea, I'm a little particular about things like that lol)

 

Same problem here, 4 year old sinister's.

Thanks for the info, going to try hot glue.

 

Mine also did it. I was "edit for bad language". $90 and they are only 2 years old. I used 3m 2sided tape and its holding up well. Dealer said superglue and similar products would eat the foam.

Your dealer is wrong... i used super glue and it worked just fine. just saying

 

This has happened to my brother and I more than once..... that is why I'm done buying 509 goggles..... the quality of them has gone down hill in the past 2 years.....
