Original Ray-Ban Arms

Original Ray-Ban Replacement Arms

A broken or bent arm does not mean your Ray-Bans are finished. In most cases the front frame, the lenses and the opposite temple are perfectly fine — the problem is one arm that has snapped at the hinge, lost its spring tension or cracked after years of daily use. This category carries genuine Ray-Ban replacement arms: the same factory-made temple arms fitted on new Ray-Ban sunglasses and optical frames, always sold as a pair with the hinge screws included, so both sides match perfectly and the repair is complete out of the envelope.

At ReplacementLenses.net we are one of the world’s largest specialists in Ray-Ban spare parts. Our team of qualified opticians has helped repair over 600,000 pairs, shipping more than 400,000 orders to over 50 countries — including the USA, UK and Canada for over 8 years. We know these frames inside out because we handle them every single day.

Why Original Ray-Ban Temple Arms Matter

Ray-Ban temple arms are not interchangeable. Every model has a specific arm profile — a particular thickness, taper, curve behind the ear, hinge barrel width and screw position. A Round Metal (RB3447) arm is nothing like a Wayfarer (RB2140) arm, and a New Wayfarer (RB2132) arm is nothing like a Clubmaster arm. Even within the same model, different size codes can use slightly different temple lengths.

Official Ray-Ban temple arms are manufactured by EssilorLuxottica to match the exact specifications of each model, size and colour code. They include the Ray-Ban logo, the correct hinge geometry, the right material finish and the same temple tip profile as your original frame. That means a perfect fit, a consistent look on both sides, and no hinge alignment issues.

Our Most Popular Original Ray-Ban Arms

• Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer — the iconic acetate frame, prone to hinge barrel cracks
• Ray-Ban 2132 New Wayfarer — slightly smaller than the 2140, same hinge issue
• Ray-Ban 3447 Round Metal — thin metal temples that bend easily
• Ray-Ban 3447V Round Metal (optical) — the prescription version, same delicate arms
• Ray-Ban 3647N — double bridge model with fine metal temples
• Ray-Ban 3548N Hexagonal — flat-lens model, thin metal arms
• Ray-Ban 8313 Carbon Fibre — sport model with carbon fibre temples

If your model is not listed above, search the category by model number — we carry authentic Ray-Ban replacement temples for hundreds of models, including Junior sizes and the Scuderia Ferrari collection.

How to Find the Right Arm for Your Ray-Ban

Open your existing arm and look at the inside. You will see something like:

RB4165 622/T3 55□16 145

• RB4165 — the model (Justin, in this case)
• 622/T3 — the colour code
• 55 — the lens calibre in millimetres
• 16 — the bridge width
• 145 — the temple arm length in millimetres

The model and colour code are the two most important pieces. Search for your model in this category, then match the colour code so the arms match your frame exactly. Remember that sunglass and optical (RX) versions of the same model can use different hinges — each listing states which version it fits. If the printing is worn off, send us a photo through our Help Center — our opticians identify models daily, free of charge.

Materials and Finishes

• Acetate — Wayfarer (RB2140), New Wayfarer (RB2132) and most full-frame models. Glossy or matte, in solid colours, tortoiseshell (Havana), transparent and gradient tones.
• Metal — Aviator, Round Metal (RB3447), Hexagonal (RB3548N) and wire-frame models, with plastic or rubber temple tips.
• Nylon / Injected — sport and modern models like Justin and the RB4xxx series. Lightweight, rubberised finish.
• Carbon fibre — tech models like the RB8313, lightweight and stiff.

Genuine Ray-Ban parts replicate the exact factory material and finish — especially important for Havana tortoiseshell, transparent colours and rubberised textures, where a non-original arm would stand out immediately.

Common Reasons for Replacing Ray-Ban Arms

• Hinge break — the most common failure, especially on acetate models like the RB2140 and RB2132
• Bent or misaligned arm — metal temples bend from sitting on them or storing them without a case
• Acetate shrinkage — older arms shrink over time, making the hinge stiffer
• Worn temple tips — if only the tips are damaged, replacing the temple tips may be enough
• Faded or peeling finish — sun exposure and skin oils degrade the surface

In all these cases, replacing the arms is far cheaper than buying a new pair. You keep the original lenses and the front frame — only the damaged arms get swapped. Our tutorial on how to change Ray-Ban temples shows the process step by step.

Sold as a Pair, Screws Included

Our original Ray-Ban arms are sold as a pair — left and right together, with the hinge screws included. This guarantees both arms match perfectly in colour, finish and wear level, and that you have everything needed to complete the repair with a simple precision screwdriver, like our 3-in-1 mini screwdriver.

We ship every working day with free shipping to the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, tracking included, with estimated delivery between 1 and 10 days. If the arms don’t match your frame, you have 14 days to return them.

Every arm in this category is a genuine Ray-Ban part sourced through the authorised EssilorLuxottica supply chain. Looking for a more affordable alternative? Visit our Compatible Ray-Ban Arms. We also carry original Oakley replacement arms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Original Ray-Ban Arms

How do I know which arm fits my Ray-Ban model?

Look inside the temple arm: you’ll see the model number (e.g. RB2140), the colour code (e.g. 902) and the size. Search for your model in this category and match the colour code. If the printing is worn off, send us a photo and our team will identify it — we do this every day.

Do original Ray-Ban replacement arms come with the logo?

Yes. Genuine Ray-Ban arms include the Ray-Ban logo and all branding details of the original model. If your frame had the logo on the temple, the replacement will too.

Are they sold individually or as a pair?

Always as a pair — left and right together, so both arms match perfectly in colour, finish and condition.

Are the hinge screws included?

Yes. Every pair ships with the screws included, so you don’t need to reuse old hardware or order screws separately.

Why did my Ray-Ban arm break at the hinge?

Hinge breaks are the number one reason people replace arms. On acetate frames like the Wayfarer, the screw barrel is a stress concentration point — daily opening and closing, plus sitting on the glasses, eventually cracks the barrel. On metal frames the hinge can loosen or fatigue over time. It’s not a defect; it’s mechanical wear.

Will new arms feel tighter than the old ones?

Usually, yes. New arms haven’t been broken in — the hinge is at factory tension and the temple curve hasn’t been adjusted to your head. After a few days they loosen up naturally; any optician can also adjust them in a minute with gentle heat.

Do I need tools to install replacement arms?

Just a small precision screwdriver (Phillips or flat, depending on the model) to remove the hinge screw, take off the old arm and fit the new one with the included screws. Some models use a spring-loaded hinge that needs a little more care — any local optician can do it in 30 seconds if you prefer.

Can I use original Ray-Ban arms on replica frames?

We don’t recommend it. Original arms are engineered for genuine Ray-Ban frames; replicas often have different hinge positions, screw sizes or temple angles that prevent a correct fit.

My Ray-Ban arm says “Made in China” — is it still original?

Yes. EssilorLuxottica manufactures Ray-Ban products in several countries, including Italy, China and Brazil. Authenticity depends on the model code, colour code and the official supply chain — not the country of manufacture.

Are original arms available for discontinued models?

Often, yes — availability depends on the model, colour code and current EssilorLuxottica stock. Some older or limited-edition colours are harder to find. If your model isn’t listed, contact us and we’ll check availability directly.

Can I return the arms if they don’t fit?

Yes — you have 14 days to return them. To avoid the round trip, send us your frame code before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility first.
