You can even completely remove the thermal internal pane and reglue it if you have to.

Ive heard of this on new lenses. You dont need to replace it. At the most, get the mfg to cover it under waranty.
cheers was thinking that, after an hour in the desicator they are looking better, they are milatary grade ESS 3mm lexan lense (yes its what we use) I notice that the quality on them (maybe this one lense) is no where near as good as my JT's the internal lense has been fitted of centre (couldnt see it when it was in the frame) and as such the it has exposed some of the foam.

How did you reglue the internal lense? hot glue or just back onto the foam?

cheers
