What glue to use ? D2x Grip

[Travis Gauthier]

My rubber grip on the card slot area og my D2x (camera is 2 years old) has finally come off, any recommendations on a glue to use to reattach ?

[David Mullenix]

I'd only be guessing but you might try calling Nikon and see if they can recomend one.

Remove all the old adhesive with alcohol before you do anything.
Then use a rubber cement. Not super glue. You can call Marshall at Bozeman Camera Repair and he can tell you what glue to use.

They are also a great supplier of used equipment! Tell him I sent you!

Well, this came up too late...I've already used superglue....all of a sudden all my Nikon stuff started falling apart. First it was the card holder cover, then I noticed that the plastic cover on my wifi transmettier was cracked. Now the rubber grip closest to the camera body is slipping off.

I'm hoping this means that I did so much volume the last year and a half that I finally got some "use" out of one of my "expensive" cameras....This is the longest I've had one camera other than my origional S2 that I began with.

Same thing is happening on mine ...

Travis,
This is a common problem with the Nikon rubber. It is best to replace it. The new parts come with new double stick. The rubber deforms so it will not stay even with new glue.

The problem with using superglue is if you ever have to have the camera repaired they have to chip the glue off and it can damage the body.

I would use a good solvent based (not water borne) contact cement.
