How to replace the invision lens

[SlipknotX556]

Alright, I just ordered a chrome invision lens, because my clear one is cracked, but I threw away the instructions on how to replace the lens. Now I already have the top part of the lens out, but the bottom tabs I cant figure out how to get them out. I already cut up my hands a decent amount of times.


Any help would be appreciated.

well..if you've got the top ones out the real trick is to just pull the lens in the right direction to most easily get it out..I usually try and pull the lip out of the way as much as I can and then try to pull on the lens to try to get the lens tab to most easily come out of it's slot..it's something that you can really only get from doing it over and over again..usually the first time is the worst and it just gets easier everytime you do it.

My first time took me an hour. It helps if you have a really thin flat head screw-driver.

It's going to be a pain in the butt the first few times you change it, but you'll get the hang of it....this is an old thread where I told the guy how to do it:
