Just noticed the rubber grip on my 7D had come unglued in a small section. Guessing this has happened to others. What have people used to glue this back on?
Thanks

I picked up the 7D shortly after it came out. So not under warranty, I still may send it in though I'll get the dial replaced as well with the new dial. Canon 5Dm3, Fuji X100T, Fuji X-T1, Fuji X70
