This is an excellent instructional video. Well done! I wonder what it would have cost if you’d sent it to a Canon repair service. I’m very impressed.

[@paulappleby2729]

Thank you Tony! 👍 A very good question about the official Canon repair cost, my guess would be around the $100 mark 😱😀

Thank you very much for sharing this video. I have a Canon 5D Mk ii with a similarly broken dust cover and an old battery which I might have to replace as well soon.

Paul are you still shooting with a 5D?! So am i!! ;) found this video very helpfull, my usb rubber terminal also got "rotten" over time, just ordered a new from aliexpress, i'm going to try the 300LSE Ultra Thin Double Sided Clear Tape to glue back the leatherette, found the tape you used was not thin enough, thanks for the help.

Hi Pedro, yes, my Canon 5D is in use every day 😎 I'm happy to hear you found this video useful, good luck with your replacement 👍

Please, dont pry rubber covers, u can damage them. Just heat with hair dryer and it will come off easily. Also if they are dirty, u could cover them with thin microfiber, apply some isopropyl alcohol and rub with toothbrush. This way u wont damage covers with brush. About sticky tape - one may ask couple little segments at local phone repair shop, they work great, or couple drops of their adhesive solution.
