Reconnecting Smith Hidden Spring Hinge

[Alpinord]

Is there a trick to reconnecting Smith hidden spring hinges without breaking them? It looks like these should just pop back on but I'm having no joy so far:

Bump. While waiting on Smith to respond......

So...no one has had to deal with Smith sunglasses hinge falling apart?

Mine did this and I'm returning for warranty. Sorta looks just like yours. I ended up with duck tape to finish my ski trip and drive home.

I'm sending them in too since I can't see how to reconnect without damaging them. The spring hinges never felt solid or secure like other glasses I own.

Good on ya, Smith:

....have deemed the damage as a manufacture defect. Your product will be fully replaced and shipped back to you free of charge under our lifetime warranty.

Thanks!

Smith took care of me too.

I'll second the " Good on ya, Smith. Thanks !

Hope they get hear before its time to leave for Utah.
