Does anyone have any experience in fixing a similar problem or any glue suggestions? I figure superglue or some sort of epoxy would be fine, but just want to be sure. Thanks.

I was shooting with a photog. in 85 degree weather and his glue was oozing out on his 10D. Canon 1D3, Sigma 70-200 f2.8, Sigma 120-300 f2.8 (sale), 1.4x converter, 580EX.

You want a contact cement - the best choice, IMO, is auto trim cement. It's available at any auto supply store. It's very strong contact cement intended for fastening rubber and many plastics to painted metal. -js I agree, Superglue makes those fumes that can't be good anywhere around a camera. Use the contact cement and follow the instructions so it is not a permanent bond, as the grips need to be removable to get to screws underneath, should your camera ever need repairs at canon. 1DS MKII, 30D

Ok, it looks like non-permanent contact cement is going to be the way I go. I'm glad I asked here first. POTN has saved the day! EOS R5 | RF 15-35 f/2.8 | RF 24-70 f/2.8 | RF 70-200 f/4 | EF 400 f/4 DO II | EF 1.4x III |
