Description
On the analogue Canon EOS series, the small back cover locking hook breaks due to age, and the camera can no longer be closed. This replacement part gets your EOS ready for use again. The linked video shows the installation step by step: unscrew the bottom plate, the front cover at the mount, and the hinge cover; remove the broken hook; attach the copper contacts to the new hook; hook the spring onto the pin of the new hook; and place the hook in its guide. The pin is a small screw and is already fitted in the hook. A small Phillips screwdriver is all you need; tweezers are helpful for hooking the spring into place. Since it is a small component, two pieces are included.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! I received awesome customer service and the parts were worth every penny!!!!
Thank you for your help and service!!! I would recommend highly!!!!!!
Many thanks for producing a part which is now obsolete. Unfortunately when the defective part is removed from the camara, it is difficult to install. The metalic contact piece was not easy to seperate nor to reinstall on the new part. The 2 plastic studs are to big to clic it on, so I had to use Superglue. I hope the glue will hold for 27 years like the camara's orginal part, but I dought it. However, I fitted it and it works and I have a spare red one.RegardsJohn
Easy to fit. I did have to apply some glue to the contacts but easy enough to do. Not to be done in a rush and keep silver and black screws in separate containers
