Does anyone know if the black foam light gasket pads inside the light box of my 5D are replaceable? You can see the black foam pad on the right of the attached photo is coming apart which could be adding black particles onto my focusing screen. I see there are 2 small phillips head screws near these pads. Any advice on what is the purpose of these pads and how to replace them?
Thanks

service, likely not, sensor cleaning maybe but not worth the cost in terms of shipping there and cleaning service.

If you are willing to try a hack, it looks like the foam pieces are just attached with adhesive so search for "adhesive foam pad" and cut to size the pieces that you need. or buy the foam pad and get 3M double sided tape for a more sticky adhesion. that's what i would try to do considering you won't likely find replacement OEM part and even if you did final original part, the adhesive on the original part would not remain tacky.

It shouldn't be too difficult. The 5D has a removable bracket (2 screws) that allows you to remove the mirror cushion for cleaning off the old adhesive, and attaching the new cushions all while outside of the camera. Thanks Canon!
