Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I already tried an universal glue but it didn't work. http://domenulbl.blogspot.com/

Evostik springs to mind, much better than an all purpose or superglue as you can spread it all over before placing it.

If you do a few searches on here, you should be able to find what they did. I know someone got theirs to stick back on again, but I can't remember specifically what they used. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95

Apply a thin coat and hold in place for 24 hours with some duct tape or masking tape. In general adhesives that dry to a hard glue line, like the "speedy glues", will uptimately fail as they will crack over time. You need something that retains its flexibility.

The problem started being reported in various photography forums about a year ago with the latest releases. Just try to find in the forums a 30D, 20D,10D, 400XTi, 350XT, 300D, etc. that had this problem. If the problem existed before you would have seen some forum traffic on the issue. Something changed at Canon either the glue, the material used for the grip, the tolerances in the size of the rubber grip, or a combination of factors... but it is more than just how people are using the camera. thanks for the info | Canon EOS | and some canon lenses

They should have fixed the failing shutter button issues that they were having with the xxD series, but up until the 50D you can still find people requesting help with non responsive shutter buttons. (Haven't seen any with the 60D yet... so they may have actually corrrected something. But time will tell)
