RB3583N Blaze The General pairs a square plastic front with metal temple arms measuring 140mm, and this aftermarket set is built to that same length and material split so it hinges into the front the way the factory arm did. Getting the arm material right matters here: a metal arm sized for an all-metal Ray-Ban won't necessarily seat the same way against a plastic-front hinge, since the socket the arm turns in is shaped around a metal pivot, not a plastic one.

Mixed-material frames like this one tend to show wear at the metal-to-plastic hinge joint before the plastic front itself does, since the metal arm is stiffer than the socket it pivots in. If the arm wobbles or the screw won't stay tight, that's usually the hinge bushing wearing out rather than a sign the whole frame needs replacing. Replacing the arm on its own, without touching the front, is usually enough to bring the hinge action back to normal.

Frequently asked questions

Are these official Ray-Ban replacement parts?

These are compatible aftermarket arms, independently produced to match the 3583's hinge and 140mm length. They aren't manufactured or supplied by Ray-Ban, just built to the same measurements so they attach correctly.

Do I need a specific screwdriver to attach these myself?

You'll need a small eyeglass screwdriver, typically included in basic repair kits, to remove the old hinge screw and attach the new 140mm arm to your 3583 frame — the whole swap usually takes under five minutes.

Is it worth buying new arms instead of a whole new frame?

Replacing both arms on the 3583 costs from €26.95 with free worldwide shipping, far less than a new frame, and it's backed by a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects on the 140mm hardware itself.

Can I replace just one arm, or do I have to buy both?

You can order a single side if only one arm on your 3583 is broken or scratched, or buy the pair if both need replacing — either way they match the 140mm length exactly.
