How to Repair a Pyrotect Helmet Visor

Safety is the biggest priority when riding any motor vehicle.

If your Pyrotect helmet visor is marred by scratches, you may simply buy and install a new one, but there is a way to remove those small to medium scratches. A Pyrotect helmet, like any other quality helmet, aims for the safety of customers, and the visor plays an important role: When a visor is blurred or unclean, the motorcycle rider's vision is affected, causing difficulty in driving and leading to accidents. The Pyrotect helmet visor can get scratched by improper handling and storing or due to continuous use without proper cleaning.

Things You'll Need

• Hot air gun
• Gloves
• Liquid soap
• Soft, clean cloth
• Lukewarm water
• Wrench

Instructions

1. Remove the visor from the Pyrotect helmet by carefully loosening the bolts located on both the right and left sides of the helmet using a wrench.

2. Clean the helmet. Remove any dirt and wipe with a soft, clean cloth.

3. Turn on the hot air gun and point it at the section of the visor that's been scratched. Move the hot air gun in a circular motion to avoid heat build-up, which may cause the plastic to bubble. Keep the hot air gun at least 2 inches from the visor. Continue until the scratches are no longer visible.

4. Let the helmet visor cool down. Once it is cooled down, re-install the visor.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid pointing the hot air gun at one section for too long since it may deform the visor.

• Regularly clean the visor with a soft, clean cloth and lukewarm distilled water. Use liquid dishwashing soap to wash the visor if needed.

• Avoid using solvents on the visor; they may damage it.

• Clean the visor right after using the helmet; dried dirt on the surface will be difficult to remove.

• To avoid scratches in the future, put a thin, clear adhesive film or plastic over the visor's surface.
