    How to replace the foam above the mirror?

    Is there any way I could replace the foam above my mirror. i have a pretty old slr (Contax 139) and i've been thinking about getting it fixed..does anyone know if they sell kits or do i have to go to a shop...

    I've seen kits for replacing the light seals inside the camera for where the film goes, but not for the mirror. I'd guess that this is something a repair shop should do.

    It can't hurt to take a camera in for a CLA every once and a while. That would include replacing seals, checking timing, calibrating the shutter, and so on.
