Move the tripod until you have some marks exacly in the corners or take a shot of eg. a cupboard and place your own marks. Try until it fits than look through the finder and push a dot on the other side of the finder (towards the object). I took a non-permanent, water soluble marker and I have to repeat this procedure after cleaning the finder or shooting in the rain.

I've done the same but I put a dot in each corner, used 1 mm masking tape (from that online auction site) to partly join the dots and then wiped the dots away.
You need to allow for curvature of the front element so as to get the lines straight through the viewfinder but I did this over a year ago and haven't needed to replace it despite rain and being pulled in and out of its bag.
