wgpcocker09 0 #1 March 26, 2011 Hey everyone, I recently bought a used oxygn as well as new ratchets and a new lens. I installed the lens according to the instructions and managed to close the lens but i cant seem to open it. Any tips would be appreciated.

theonlyski 8 #2 March 26, 2011 Funny you should ask... I just got tired of trying to get the fucking ratchets to line up the right way, so I spun them 180* and stuck them in like that. I'm going to stop by the skysystems tent tomorrow and have them show me."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,584 #3 March 26, 2011 I grease the top gasket periodically with plumber's grease. It doesn't deteriorate rubber, and makes it possible to open and shut the visor. I had to replace the ratchets a couple of years ago and it got a LOT harder to open and shut; it stays closed much of the time any more. But until then a greasing every couple of months would make it just possible to open and shut, which is what you want -- you don't want it to open too easily.
