Sera has developed an eye problem. The sleep action of her left eye no longer works.
Many newer dolls have their head attached with a zip-tie. A little pressure on the release tab and off her head comes.....
.......and out falls this.
The diagnosis is evident now. The weight that is supposed to sit in her eyeball to make the sleep action work has come off.
But the hard part comes now. That would be the taking of the eye apart to get the weight glued back!
Some heat to soften the vinyl and lots of elbow grease worked to extract the needed parts.
The weight gets glued inside the white plastic part.
Then back to the heat and elbow grease to get it all back together.
Sera has two functional eyes again.
