What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today, we're going to do something a little bit different. We have a GoPro here that we actually cracked the lens. We were filming behind a race car, and a rock came up and smashed the lens.
So we're going to show you how to fix it. To do this job, I'm going to use this little kit. We sell this at 1aauto.com. It's got nice little bits, which make it easy to do that job. It comes with a handle. On the back side, there's some more bits and a little extension. Get yours at 1aauto.com, and you can do it yourself.
So, just going to take the appropriate size torque for this. Let's see what size this is. This look like a T4. We'll take all these screws out. I'm doing this on this towel, so I don't lose the screws. Get that last screw out. Take that off. Be careful with the screws.
Okay. So, the first thing we're going to do is replace that seal. Try to grab that old seal. Might be able to take this this Torx driver. Slide that out. Take this new seal. I'm going to install that right there. Doesn't matter which way you go. Make sure it's on there.
At this point, this is going to go on the GoPro this way. There is a little protector right here. Just grab that, peel that off. Make sure you don't touch that. Get this lined up. Looks good right there. Take the new screws out. Tighten these down. So, they're all tight. There's a little screen on here. Pull that off. It's as easy as that. You can do it yourself.
