The plastic cover can be removed with a small suction cup, according to those who have replaced them. It's held on with double-sided tape. "Be seeing you."

Clean it then press it back on. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Jun 22, 2008 13:42 | #10 Instead of trying to remove the stick on plastic from my 20D, I found a detail how to remove the entire rear cover. It involved a few screws on the bottom and under the rubber grip on the back. It took about 10 minutes and I was able to blow out all the dust in side the back and wipe the back of the LCD cover and the LCD glass with my microfiber lens cloth. It worked great and I didn't have to worry about the double stick tape.

Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Especially since the lcd on a 20D is really small.

I've just checked my two 400D's, my 40D and my 5D and not one of them has any dust under the LCD cover. Now intrigued, I also checked my other DSLR's (Nikon, Canon, Olympus) and they haven't any dust either. I can only assume you live in one dusty area on your side of the pond.
I'll try and find the detail drawings I used and maybe I'll try it again... now that I have a second body to photograph the process.
