Help Please! Arai Helmet side pod replacement

Motrfinger · 06-09-2005, 04:03 PM

one of the tabs on the side pod on my helmet broke and I just got the replacement. It seems to snap in quickly but when I put the shield on it pops right off. I'm guessing this is because I'm not locking in something correctly. I've looked on the Arai site and they have no information regarding the pod replacement just the shield. Anyone know if there is a trick to getting these things back on for good.

Ray, there's a small red push in tab on the mounting plate. If the side pod doesn't fully engage that snap tab, the pod will continue to pop off. I usually press in the pod while slightly pushing the red tab with a key until I hear the side pod snap into place. I then give it a little tug to make sure its in place. So far no problems...
