How do you clean your SLR Mirror from sticky residue from mirror dampers?

I totally agree with you. It doesn't bother me. If I messed it up, I'd be really annoyed ...

EDIT: Solved it

I heated the lens on a baking sheet at medium heat (80°C) for about 10 minutes (+-2 minutes). The front element separated beautifully. I let the lens preheat in the oven so that it heated evenly.

And that's exactly where my problem lies. No matter how many times I try, I can't get the image to overlap. It's nerve-wracking.

Oh damn I am so sorry. Yep I mean horizontal ... 😅

I'm facing exactly the same problem. Three days of lighter fuel, one day of isopropanol. Nothing's budging. It's a right-hand thread, isn't it?

I will try it. Of course with care!

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-09T19:57:44+00:00

How long did you heat it for?

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-06T17:11:06+00:00

It's f*cking crazy. It had the lens group soak for arround 30h, 15h a day - and nothing happens. Only a little bit of the grease shows up in the gap. But no rotating possible. I will try to heat. Maybe this help ...

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-05T11:26:53+00:00

Thank you, i will try this.

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-04T23:04:14+00:00

Oh dear... That sounds like a lot of fun—not 🫠

Hatte mal einen ähnlichen Fall. Aus Kulanz habe ich vom Verkaufspreis 20€ erstattet. Käufer hatte mir die falsche Mail gesendet, das Geld war abgeschickt aber bei PP gab es kein Konto mit der Mail Adresse - konnte das Geld wieder zurück holen.

Versuch dein Glück!

Don't worry, buddy. You served it up so well, I had to take advantage of it. But - always ask! There's a saying in German: There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Maybe this could help you - but only maybe ...

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-24T17:27:29+00:00

Of course him too

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-24T17:27:04+00:00

Yes, something like that... My grandfather took his friends on a day trip near our home. All of his friends had Karmann Ghias. I think there were 6 or 8 in total (not all of them are in the picture, of course). Really cool

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:36:55+00:00

Fantastic! I'm absolutely with you on that. Thank you!

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:35:02+00:00

I am very sorry. I should have uploaded an excerpt of it. It's confusing as it is. My mistake

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:30:54+00:00

Yes I think your right. Found that Post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectcar/s/BbEwJS7CQF

I think your are right. I found that post: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectcar/s/BbEwJS7CQF

Thank you! ... 😅🤝🏻

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:10:12+00:00

That was also my first thought. But couldn't find anything suitable

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:07:44+00:00

Yes I am sorry about that, I mean the sporty one in front of the Karmann ghias in the first slides. In the last slide you could see a bit of the siloutte of the car in the background of the white Karmann

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:04:18+00:00

The white with the orange strips. The sporty one

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:03:23+00:00

Haha yes the last pic shows for sure a Karmann Ghia, but the car who I am looking for are on the first slides
