Even if you had to pay for it, the cost is nominal and could possibly be had through Minolta as well (XD-11? XG-7?) It simply sticks into place after you've thoroughly cleaned away the mess left by the original. Might want to check your mirror cushion to see that it's not in the same condition. - --------------------------------------------------- Specializing in interesting, quality junk.
