My suggestion would be simply to take the top off and see if you can remove the spider. If this is a rangefinder model, make sure you don't disturb the adjustment of the moving parts, but if something has gotten into your view, it's almost certainly going to be fairly easy to spot. The V'lander rangefinders put much of their optics into a single block which has no entry for spiders.

I suppose I should caution you to make sure it really is a spider and a web, not a slivering defect or chip that mimics it. I once had a dropped SLR with a chip in the prism which looked surprisingly like a bug. I'd have sworn up and down that there was a cockroach on the screen.
