So these green things keep falling off my glasses.
Rather than shelling out big bucks for the 2 glasses, have any of you found a way to fix them more permanently?
I'm not going to use just any glue in the HOPE that it'll work, because if it doesn't, well, it could easily turn into a sticky mess that I am going to be putting into my hair...
Ideas?

Hmmm... never heard of this happening before. The green pieces on mine are firmly affixed. Are they counterfeit?
Perhaps upload a picture?

I have had the same problem on my ancient pair of 3D Vision 1 glasses. The rubber tips come loose because the rubber/silicone has aged and leaks, making it less plyable. Same thing happens with the nose pieces, they get less pliable and start to pop loose. This is like 9 years or so. It's weird that the battery being used every week lasts longer than the rubber.
For the earpieces, I just removed them, and cleaned the tips with goo-gone. I don't think the rubber helped that much, but it might depend upon your head.
For the nosepiece, I used super-glue/cyanoacrylate to glue the little posts, which shoved the glue into the nose piece holes. This is permanent though. Beats having the ends sproing up though.

Nope, they are as genuine as they get.
Here is a picture of what I mean. Note that the tip of the branches themselves have a sharp ending, which seems designed to hold the green rubber thing in place. Sadly it does not. Is it because I wear prescription glasses and a headset? Possibly. Either way, they keep falling off and scratching my face with those sharp ends is NOT FUN.
Also, I specifically asked for FOR SURE advice on an adhesive. You obviously aren't going to be the one gluing together his hair, his ears, his headset and his two sets of glasses if the adhesive you suggest doesn't work out perfectly.

Thanks. I am hoping to find someone who actually did glue the silicon ends onto the glasses successfully or, barring that, a polymers chemist who knows exactly what will work...
I know, it's a pretty tall order. Thank you for your understanding.
