I just finished 're-socking' my Oakley C-wire sunglasses last night, so I can offer some insight.
I began by removing my old socks, wiping off the residue that remained with a dry paper towel, and then cleaning the entire earpiece area well with glass cleaner. Then I began to attempt to slide the new earsock on. It was so difficult that I was afraid that I was going to bend my frames, so I had to remove the sock and start over.
An important first step is to put a small dab of water-based lubricant on the very tip of the earpiece, where the sock will be started. (You can prolly also use petroleum-based jelly, but I don't know if this might possibly damage the sock, over time.) Don't use much, only a bit is required!
Now start the sock onto the earpiece, pushing it on in the correct alignment. If it starts to 'slow down' on you, simply use your finger to move a bit of the 'bead' of lube out in front of the sock onto the remaining, uncovered earpiece. If the sock begins to get out of alignment or twist at the rear portion, back at the end of the earpiece, realign it correctly and continue.
Once you have gotten the sock to the correct location at the front of the earpiece (towards the hinge and lens), you may find that it tries to 'retract' itself backwards towards the end of the earpiece. This simply means that you haven't yet advanced enough of the back portion of the sock onto the earpiece: in other words, it is in a 'stretched' condition. Just push a bit more of it onto the earpiece from the back of the sock until it stops trying to pull itself back. Then, again, ensure correct alignment of the sock.
Note: If you begin this process at a time when you can allow the glasses to 'sit' for a few hours (i.e., sock them one evening, and allow to sit all night), then you can be certain the socks won't try to 'retract' on you. This way when you trim the excess you'll be certain it will truly be the correct length, leaving no gaps in the front or back of the earpiece.
Also, if you're still having trouble, you might try heating the sock up a bit with a blowdryer to expand the material before you slide them onto the earpiece.
Hope this helps! Flex
Don't use any petroleum-based substance on an ear sock. It will rot the rubber. Try this instead of Vaseline: Dishwashing liquid. That's right Oakley lovers, it works great. Put a little on the end of the earpiece and inside the ear sock. It will slide right on, and then you can rinse off the soap! Love those Oakleys!!
