Hi, i just got some Oakley splice goggles and when i first took em out, i notices that the lens doesn't fit properly with the frame in the bottom right side of the lens. normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but it is really distracting and im afraid it might break or scrathch over time. any easy repair for this? i bought these off ebay so i cant return them and iv already tried taking the lens in and out a few times. thanks

Pictures please. Then we can actually see whats going on. to me it seems like the lens isn't in the track.

Also here's a video with the proper installation of the lens, in case you were doing it wrong.

it is in the right track, its just that the inside 2nd lens does not line up with the nose piece, thus creating the gap

Like I said, post a picture so we can see what's up. From what you are describing here it seems different from what you had in the OP.

It could have something to do with the tabs located on either side of the nose. If they aren't in the proper place the lens wont fit right. When you install the lense you have to place the lower tabs first and then snap it in up top. Or the guy who you bought it from gave you the lens of a different goggle
