Removing side shields:
Words of wisdom: Be careful that the screwdriver doesn't pop off and scratch your lens! Then you are really "screwed." It is probably a good idea to work over a table so that parts are not damaged or lost on the floor. Also make sure your hands are clean so you don't scratch the lens with dirt/residue from your fingers.
To remove a side shield:
First loosen the frame screw that is on top of the frame with a small flat head screwdriver. You don't need to remove the screw fully, just enough so that the side shield is loose. Take note of how the side shield sits between the lens and the frame. Now pop the side shield out from between the frame and the lens. The lens might pop out, so be careful not to drop it on the floor, but that is fine. Now slide the side shield back around the temple arm to remove it from the frame.
Installing a side shield:
It is important when installing the side shield that the bevel on the lens lines up with the side shield. It will take some patience and precision to get the side shield to sit properly between the frame and the lens. Once you have it in there, rotate the lens so that the bevel and side shield line up. Also you want to make sure the side shield is in the right position so it sits comfortably on your face.
Once you have that lined up, tighten the frame screw. Try them on to make sure the side shields are even. Make any necessary adjustments and then you are good to go!
Temples:
You will need a small eyeglass screwdriver with a flat head.
You may need to lift/scrape off any rubber that has stuck to the metal of the frame so that you can access the screw.
When you remove your broken temple, be sure not to lose the original screw and try not to strip the screw. Sometimes you need to grab onto it with a pair of pliers, otherwise it just spins and will not pop out.
Prepare the new temple by gently pulling away the rubber from the screw hole so that it will fit properly in the frame. You may also have to remove the small brass spacers that are on the temple. Sometimes the temple will not fit in the frame without removing those.
If the original screw doesn't seem to fit, keep trying. Adjust the angle of the screw and screwdriver. If it still doesn't fit, try using a screw that came with your new temple set. They are a bit longer and skinnier.
One last thing: BE CAREFUL not to scratch your lenses with the screwdriver. Once that happens, you're kinda "screwed"...

Take note of how the side shield sits between the lens and the frame so that the bevel on the lens lines up with the length of the side shield. You can rotate the lens to see how it should sit. Now pop the lens out through the front of the frame.

I wear my Vermont glacier glasses on the slopes, mountain biking, hiking, ice climbing and rock climbing. I don’t think I have ever worn them without somebody telling me, “I love your glasses, dude”. And so do I. They fit great, have perfect lenses for all conditions, and I love the side shields, no matter what I’m doing.
