Replacement rubber eyecup

I seem to have lost mine.  Is there an easy way to get a replacement in the UK?  Is there a part number to quote?

What have you lost ...... the whole assembly or just the rubber bit leaving the plastic mount with the multiple holes/serrations in it ??? Post a photo of what you have left ....

If it's just the rubber  ..... it is almost impossible to fit it back on because of the way the mount locks into multiple small perforations in the rubber bit..... believe me.... I have tried and it defeated me. There is either some assembly tool or it is fitted before the eyepiece bit is attached to the body (part of the bit holding the rubber is attached by screws from inside the eyepiece assembly and pinches the two halves that the rubber locks into). Major surgery to the rubber bit was required to get it back on in my case and the end result is not brilliant.

I fear it's going to be a trip to Solms. If you are in the UK and you're lucky it may be something Leica Mayfair can do ..... they are equipped to do some simpler service tasks.

Thanks. It’s just the rubber. You explain why my attempts to get the rubber back on tightly failed and so why I lost the ring inadvertently.

Hi there,

Did you manage to have yours repaired/fixed? 

My was torn, am wondering how much does it cost to replace it? 

[jrp]

Yes. It cost several hundred £, but they also did a lots of other repairs to the cosmetics and recalibrated things, etc.

Does it take long? Several months I would guess?

It would have been a month or less if I hadn’t negotiated down the (unremarked to eye cup) repair scope and cost, which needed a bit if to and fro.

I have received my SL two weeks ago after M9 upgrade program, with the rubber part of the eyecup came off on the upper side.  It was limited to only one hole of the rubber circle, I pushed it back using my surgical loops and using the tip of the fine screwdriver.  It looked ok at the end, at least cosmetically.
