So, my EL’s eye cups , bought in 2019, tend to stick in the closed position and are HARD to extend. No grit/dirt in them and have rinsed in hot water to be sure.

I pretty much have to remove them and grab on lower part with a plier to get them to reextend fully.

Have rinsed in hot water in ade they were gunned up and they are not. Suggestions?


Need to be able to turn them in and out easily. Advice from those in the know appreciated. I probably won’t toss the binos in the trash regardless but would like to fix this issue. 😁

Thx.

Call Swarovski. They will send you a new set of eyecups. They come with a little grease in them so you might have washed it out also.
 
Do you pull up as you turn? If I push even slightly they are 10 times as stiff. I rarely turn mine as I never take my glasses off while glassing.
