Repairing a Croakie?
 

I bought a Croakie float device for eyeglasses about a year ago. The wings of
the eyeglasses slip into the tubular ends of a 12" or so cord that goes from
wing to wing. There's a float midway down the cord. One of the inserts for a
wing has deteriorated. Any suggestions for repairing it? Maybe it's time to
unstitch the cord (it's sort of like a cloth cord that has been rolled into a
tube and sewn together), and see what they actually use inside. Whatever it is
it didn't hold up too well.

Wife to the rescue. It looked like some 2" cylinder was broken inside, but it
had just been pushed back. She adjusted it and all is well.
