Ray-Ban Replacement Arms

Ray-Ban replacement arms — also called temples — are the factory spare parts that replace a broken or bent side piece, attaching to your frame front at the original hinge. A broken arm doesn’t mean the end of your Ray-Bans: in most repairs we handle, the frame front and lenses are perfectly fine. This category brings together every Ray-Ban arm we stock — over 760 references covering sunglasses and prescription frames. Whether you call them temples, arms, side pieces, ear pieces or simply the “legs” of your glasses, if Ray-Ban made a frame with them, you’ll almost certainly find the spare here.

Original or Compatible Ray-Ban Arms — Which Should You Choose?

We stock two ranges, and the right one depends on your frame and your budget:

Feature	Original Ray-Ban Arms	Compatible Ray-Ban Arms
Branding	Ray-Ban logo and factory engravings	No logo (neutral finish)
Manufacturer	EssilorLuxottica factory part	Third-party, made to fit
Colour match	Exact factory colour code	Closest available match
Price per pair	From ~45 €	From ~21 €
Sold as	Pair (left + right)	Pair (left + right)
Screws	Included	Included
Best for	Restoring the frame to factory condition	A quick, budget-friendly fix

A simple rule from our workshop: if your frame is a recent model you plan to keep for years — or a colour that’s hard to match, like Havana tortoiseshell — go original. If you just need the glasses working again at the lowest cost, the compatible range does the job.

Find Your Model in Seconds

Every Ray-Ban prints its identity inside the temple arm: model number (e.g. RB2140), colour code, calibre and temple length in millimetres. Use the Ray-Ban Model filter on this page to jump straight to your frame. If the printing has worn off, send us a photo through our Help Center — our opticians identify frames every day, free of charge.

One thing to watch: sunglass and prescription (RX) versions of the same model can use different hinges, so a sun temple won’t always fit the optical frame. Each product page states exactly which version the arms fit — and the Use filter (Sun / Vision) narrows the category for you.

The Ray-Ban Temples We Replace Most

• Ray-Ban 3447 Round Metal — thin metal temples that bend easily
• Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer — the classic acetate arm, prone to hinge cracks
• Ray-Ban 2132 New Wayfarer — same hinge weak point as its big brother
• Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator — fine wire temples, easily sat on
• Ray-Ban 3016 Clubmaster — acetate-and-metal combination arm
• Ray-Ban 4165 Justin — rubberised finish that wears with skin contact

Prescription wearers are covered too — from everyday optical frames like the RB5228 and RB7017 to Junior sizes, and even the Scuderia Ferrari collection. And if it’s your Oakleys that need help, we carry Oakley replacement arms as well.

Everything You Need for the Repair

All our Ray-Ban arms ship as a matched pair with the screws included — no hunting for hardware afterwards. Fitting them takes a few minutes with a precision screwdriver: our 3-in-1 mini screwdriver covers the common Ray-Ban screw heads, and our step-by-step tutorial on how to change Ray-Ban temples walks you through the whole swap. If only the rubber tips behind your ears are worn, you may just need new temple tips instead of full arms. And if the lenses are scratched too, our Ray-Ban replacement lenses complete the full restoration in the same order.

Free Shipping and 14-Day Returns

We ship worldwide every working day, with free shipping to the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, tracking included. And if the arms don’t fit your frame, you have 14 days to return them — though the easiest path is to send us your frame code before ordering, so we confirm compatibility first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy original or compatible Ray-Ban replacement arms?

Original arms are the exact factory part — same logo, colour code and finish as your frame. Compatible arms cost roughly half and fit the same hinge, but carry no logo and match the colour as closely as possible rather than exactly. For frames you love and plan to keep, original; for a fast economical fix, compatible.

Do replacement arms fit both sunglasses and prescription frames?

Not always. Some models use different hinges on the sun and optical (RX) versions, so check the product page — each listing states which frame version the arms fit. Use the Sun/Vision filter to narrow your search, or ask us if in doubt.

Are the arms sold individually or as a pair?

Always as a pair, left and right together, so both sides match perfectly in colour, finish and wear. Even if only one arm broke, you get a balanced set.

Do the arms come with screws?

Yes — every pair ships with the screws included, so you can complete the repair straight out of the envelope with just a precision screwdriver.

What if the arms don’t fit my frame?

You’re covered by our 14-day return policy. To avoid the round trip entirely, send us the code printed inside your temple before ordering and we’ll confirm the exact match first.

How long does delivery take and is shipping free?

Orders leave our optical workshop with tracking, with estimated delivery between 1 and 10 days depending on destination. Shipping is free to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand.

How do I install the new temples?

Unscrew the hinge, remove the broken arm, seat the new one and tighten the included screw — under five minutes per side. Our guide on changing Ray-Ban temples shows every step with photos.
