I'm glad to see that you posted about this, John. I have obviously
misremembered what you had said about it before.

First you'll have to get rid of the leatherette memory it now has to curl.
Then, use some quality 3M double stick tape. Avoid using liquid glues. I
get a lot of repairs that way, after the glue goes into the area over the
latch and the back gets glued shut.

Subject: [OM] Re-adhering leatherette
The adhesive on the leatherette on my OM-4T is quickly weakening and the
leatherette is starting to peel back from the camera. The condition isn't
too serious yet ? so far less than 1 centimeter of leatherette has peeled
back on the side where the film door swings open. There's no need to
replace it all but I want to glue or mount it so that it doesn't get worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what adhesive works best?
Thanks for any and all advice.
Marc
