    What are the two thin plastic strips located on the top of the LCD called (they sandwich the camera)?

    Is it possible to find replacements for them?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, it seems the glue has gotten weak. There's also some minor wear on the strip.

    Wow, looking at some of the prices. Expensive for just a plastic strip!

    Sometimes when I'm cleaning mine, it'll peel up at the edges. I just push it back in and it's fine. Perhaps you should just take them off and reapply some sort of double back tape and reapply them. It'll be much cheaper than buying parts.

    I prefer rubberised adhesive - Bonfix/Maxifix/Fevibond/et al. Strong enough, but can be forcibly peeled off if needed. Don't want to use super glue.
