Thanks, CarlosI was worried about the lack of anything to seal the back - the SL35 (the real one) has a yarn thread in there - all the Japanese cameras I have use a rubber seal, the only camera I have that doesn't seal the back is my Retina Reflex. So I guess I'll have to try a film when spring arrives in The Great White North. If I'm feeling paranoid I can shoot half the roll and then seal the back with hockey tape for the rest of the roll.

I was reading your message again and to be more precise, the only felt strip in my camera runs in the door from the upper to the lower hinge vertically, it's a continuous vertical felt strip along the door end about 5 cm long or about 2" (inches) long; this felt has two strips in your camera about 1/2" long each one according your description, I guess there is no felt between these two parts and then, if this is the case, it wouldn't be normal because the felt strip is continuous to seal the door from the upper hinge to the lower hinge.
