Default helmet question

does anyone else have the problem of the bottom of the helmet coming off? the little rubber thing that runs around the bottom of the helmet. mine is coming off and i tried some super glue but no luck. i think im going to have to just take it off.

anyone else have this problem and find something that made it stick again?

thanks in advance.

call the company and complain if they don't stand behind their product use someone else. I wear an aria helmet. love it.

I wear only Oakley sunglasses and people tell me i am crazy for payin 200 bucks for a pair. I broke a earpiece and called and complained about them. Instead of sending me earpieces they upgraded me to a brand new pair of frames for 25 bucks. Not bad considering my pair were 4 years old and had been through hell. I don't know about icon, but if the helmet is coming apart how well do you think it's going to stay together in a crash.?

arai had that problem for a little while. I cant remeber the exact model my friend had, but he called them and they admitted it was a defect,
he shipped his helmet to them and they repaired it for free. they paid shipping as well.

call the manuf. and see what they say

my arai is just about 6 yrs old (buying a new vector this summer) but my front plastic lip fell off at some point, I don;t have it...Went on to Arai's online support and they gave me an address to ship it to so they could fix it and like he said, they paid for shipping back. For now I just put some black electrical tape around where the lip was

an idea....try carrying your helmet a different way, have you been holding it by the chin or somethin along those lines?
