Z-20 Shield Replacement:
NOTE: DO NOT USE power tools or overtighten screws when changing shields.
Step 1 - Lay a towel on a flat surface and set the helmet on it.
Step 2 - Remove the shield pivot tensioners on each side. (This is the smaller screw on the sides of the shield.)
Step 3 - Remove the shield pivot screws on each side. (This is the larger screw on the sides of the shield. For best results, we suggest using a quarter to loosen/tighten these screws.)
Step 4 - Remove the shield. We suggest using a soft cloth towel to wipe down the rubber seal as well as where the shield mounts to the helmet for best results.
Step 5 - Place the new shield on the helmet. There are two white washers that go between the shield and helmet, make sure these are in place before re-installing the shield pivot screws.
Step 6 - Hand thread the shield pivot screws to hold the shield in place. Once hand threaded, use a quarter to tighten until snug with the helmet shell. Do not overtighten.
Step 7 - Hand thread the shield pivot tensioners, then tighten to desired tension for shield movement.
We do not recommend using Racing Optic Perimeter Seal Laminated tear offs on Coated Shield (including Silver Mirror and Iridium). They can have a reaction which can potentially damage the shield or shorten the longevity of the shield. The standard non perimeter seal have no issue
