          I would try heating it up with a hair dryer or something else and stretch it a little bit at a time to get it back to normal. Hehe I bet you wish you bought a BLACK Flex 7 now, don't ya? :)

                trying taking off the bottem part of it and wrapping it around something and then rubberbanding it on. leave it like that for a while things like those small basketballs work good.

                  Cut out a piece of cardboard in that shape, place it behind, bend it to match the flex corners, and hold it in place with enough bobby pins to create the original shape. Then, heat it up with the blowdryer and let it sit for a while in place. I always do that and it works great.

                      bend the bottom up over the front as far as it will go up toward the lense. leave it that way or even rubber band it for a couple days and it should reform to the correct shape. you may even want to take the screws on the corners out. that works when mine gets bent from sitting on something in my bag or backseat.

                          1) Hang it upside down off a nail in the wall, with the visor part against the wall.

                          2) Heat the rubber with a hair dryer.

                          3) Let it hang for a day or so.

                            All of these are way to hard.
                            Just flip it up and over towards the lense. It should be back to normal in like 20 minuites.
