Anton17 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Well I bought the Pinlock to stop having to lift up my visor and when I first fitted it in it was flawless. Lately it's been misting up between the visor and the pinlock itself, obviously because it's not fitting close enough to the visor. I've tried re-fitting it but it still ends up happening and it's not something I can fix by just lifting up the visor (since it's in between, I need to take out the insert, which is a bit of a pain at the roadside and impossible while riding).It's starting to obscure my view now and I'm not sure if it's just because the temperature is getting so cold. Anyone had the same problem or know a way around it? (Homemade remedies, can't afford any fancy spit-shines ). I know I just need to get it to fit tighter but not sure how.Edit: I think I just figured it out. Took the insert out and realised there was some kind of a discoloured yellow sticky cover on it which must have been causing some of it, and then realised I had if fitted inside-out. Works amazingly now.Feel free to delete this thread mods. Quote
MtotheJ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 A couple of things: Have you fitted it the right way round? I fitted mine back to front at first, so the plastic beading bit (the raised side round the edge) was against the visor causing space. I flipped it over and the problem was solved. Also, if you have been riding with the visor up, or been keeping the helmet in a damp place; moisture may have gotten in between the insert and visor. If so, take it out and rinse with warm water and dry with kitchen towel. Leave it for 20 mins so the excess dries and then put it back in. If neither work, then I'm out of ideas!!! Quote
MtotheJ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Pretty sure this is what Korben did on here and there have been many jokes since about it! Quote

Anton17 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 I know, I should be more... non-idiotic... so the plastic beading bit (the raised side round the edge) was against the visor causing space. Actually I just read the instructions again and it said that raised bit was supposed to be against the visor and I had mine the other way around, so when that raised lip is touching the visor I am getting zero mist.Whatever works.

MtotheJ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Really? Im sure mine said the flat bit should be against the visor Quote
Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Raised edge against the visor ... creates the 'double glazing' effect.. Quote
