Re: Olympus OM10 Problem?
It would help if somehow you could post a picture. But you could always run a cheap roll of film through it.

I suspect it may be the little foam strip below the focus screen that acts as a cushion when the mirror flips up. The glue may have let go and it has attached itself to the mirror.
I have no rubber on the back of my mirror. I would recomend that if you are unsure to take it in to a camera tech and let them look at it. It should be a simple and low cost fix. I am an OM fan and it would be worth getting it fixed as they are great cameras.
PS just noticed you logon name. I'm a Zep fan also.
Re: Olympus OM10 Problem?
Further thought if you may see something on this site showing how to replace the light seals that may confirm what the material is and where it belongs. Look at http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/sealreplacement.html and select OM10 on the left hand side. I replaced the light seals on my OM1 and OM10 and got them of ebay from Jon Goodman. He makes an excellent product if you want to replace the light seals yourself.
Let us know
