Hey Captain you sure are getting into it I don’t think I would use any solvents on that lens just mild soap and distilled water because we don’t know what it’s made out of nice job I can remember when the 8 track player went in that spot

8 track and AM/FM radio, LOL! Yes I'm still busy fixing all the broken things around the house. My next video is fixing the weed wacker, AGAIN. I think everything I own knows that I'm retired and wants my attention, LOL. I'm glad this simple fix worked and thank you very much......

I use this method it works great, the laser is located in the left hand side i use one of does small flashlight for one dollar in Walmart i use the flashlight to keep the rubber open and illuminate at the same time very easy it took my couple of minutes.

Awesome! Great idea to use the flashlight. And thank you very much.....

did you use some isopropyl alcohol (solvent) on Q-tip ? to make cleaning easier so less force is used on lens. if you take an old computer dvd drive apart you will see just how delicate the lens mounting are

Oh no I didn't. Ooops. The video I watched that used this technique didn't mention using solvent and now I feel silly. Great info and thank you very much.....

I blew into the openings, after removing the disks, with my air compressor at about a 3 inch distance and now both my dvd player and navigation are running trouble free. This may not last but so far they are both working.

Great job, then you don't need to go to the car dealer and get yourself a new car..... BEWARE: A slipping rubber may lead to an enlarged family, be sure you're ready for that...... 😱🤢😈😂🤣👍
