cagedfalcon Posted September 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2020 I have 5 different covers but no visor rim. Looks like they button on. Also is there a spring or a form to keep it's shape? Trying to figure out what I am looking for. Thanks Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted September 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2020 Those covers fit over a frame like this. The button holes line up with the screw posts on the side for the chin strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted September 15, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2020 The combination cap consists of the frame, cap band and insignia, strap, side buttons, and cover (removable). To replace covers, unscrew the side buttons and remove them and the strap. Peel the insignia band off by pulling down on the rear. Pull the cover up and off the frame and ring (bending the ring as necessary for removal). Assemble in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted September 15, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 15, 2020 What size are your covers? They'll only fit on a similar sized frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
