    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.
