509 Goggles Minor Problem

[Whitetail7]

Hi Everyone,
I have a small problem. Took my helmet out of storage and found that the quick release for my 509 goggles detached from my helmet. The velcro is still fine, but the "sticky" pad where the goggles attach came off. Funny thing is the pad is still attached to the helmet, but the goggles strap came off the sticky pad. Any recommendations on a quick fix to get riding again soon? Should I just maybe use crazy glue to re-attach the strap to the sticky pad on the helmet? Not sure what other options I might have.

You could try a 2 part epoxy too

you can buy quick strap replacement parts for both velcro and plastic post attachments

You can heat both up with a heat gun and stick back together. Sometimes that works if not use crazy glue.

I used Liquid Nails 2 part epoxy. It is labeled "metal projects" worked great for exactly the same repair and after use and abuse still holding strong.

I tried the heat method on mine plus glued it once. Finally got sick of dealing with riding without goggles and went back to a regular strap.

Crazy glue IS the only way to go. They all come off in time

Try Gorilla glue. I have used it on quite a few helmets for the same reason and it's still holding.

Double sided carpet tape. Done this with a couple of helmets now. Still removable if you ever want to take em off. Crazy Glue is permanent

I used so type of crazy glue and it ate my helmet away! I would be careful what type of glue I used. I would just go bye the replacement parts.

Same thing happened to me--Use contact cement--still on after two years!!

We use black weatherstrip adhesive. Haven't had one come apart since.

When I first bought a pair of quick straps in Cooke City the guy used a file to file down the small tabs that go on the goggles, they are just to tight from the factory. If you think about it they pull on and off really hard, but once they are on, were are they going to go. Don't file a lot just enough to make them go on and off easy.

I've run them both ways, when I'm to busy to file them, and the ones I don't file always come off the helmet. And yes you can buy new helmet buttons, here is a link:

Three smart answers IMHO!

I have packages of the replacement stickers and use them regularly.

DEVCON it sticks anything together like cement
