Thank you. Yeah, guess I should make sure it's the right part before I squirt it down with lighter fluid. :o) (I remember, I was told sparingly. I'm not really going to hose it down.)

Light seals look good. There is the tiniest litte pin at the top of the door, looking at it as you described below, on the right side at the top. It does press in as if spring loaded.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for that should be protruding. Will it be on the left or right, top or bottom? I see the little things that click when it's closed, both on the body and door. Is it one of those? Janet On Jun 21, 2014, at 9:41 PM, Speedy wrote: > On most Nikon cameras there is a small - tab that is pressed in by > the closing of the camera back.
