Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - 12:27 pm:        hi there i am just getting my second om10 body up to scratch and was about to replace the light seals on this on and can see something is a bit odd between the focusing screen and the mirror. there seems to be some grey paper-like stuff that comes from under the focusing screen and then should tuck under the mirror? (looks like its split from the picture , but it isnt- thats just a mirror trick) what is it and how do i get it back how it should be? many thanks Nik [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/willowmoonn/computer%20problem/cropP10802 24.jpg[/IMG]   Glenn Tinkerer Username: Glenn Post Number: 1048 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

If you are sure the fabric has not torn/split, put the smallest run of contact cement on the exposed edge and push back under top edge of mirror.
