I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my lenses, can someone help me out? I searched and came up empty...
Changing lenses in the 509 Films Goggles?

I played with mine for a while. If you hold the top frame and bottom frame around the nose area and pull apart, the top frame will separate from the lens work your way around the frame separating as you go. The last part to come apart is by the nose. The lens in notched into the frame by the nose with a bunch of small dove-tail joints so you have to work those out. Hope this helps. It's about the same amount of fun putting the lens back in. I was worried about breaking something the entire time, but no problems. The goggles work great.
Just like bigrock said. Pull the top & bottom of the frame apart to unsnap the lens. Take the new lens and align it in the frame groove. There are two tabs on the top and three on the bottom of the lens. First align the top tabs. Take a look inside the frame groove and see where the lens tab snaps into. This will give you an idea of which way to align the tabs. Once roughly aligned, firmly press into place.
After the top two tabs are in place, do the same for the bottom three. First align the then firmly press into place.
Sometimes lenses take some firm pressure to align and snap in. Don't worry the lenses are very strong, just don't bent them and you'll have no issues. Once you change the lens once, you'll be able to do it in a minute easily.

Ok, I think I got it...thanks for the help guys. I too was worried the whole time I was gonna break em, but they're really strong. Thanks again 
What about the plastic part that is on the top of the goggles mine fell out after one ride. can you order a new one? Nice goggles though.
When changing lenses in any goggle I always start at the nose. Then the rest of it is much easier to get into the snaps.
They have a video up now...
