Bought a Leica 1000R rangefinder years ago and, while it works perfectly, the rubber/plastic housing is “disintegrating ”. It’s reminding me of those Remington recoil pads that went south a few years ago.

The rubber coating now sticky, gooey and nasty, impossible to clean up.

Is this the sort of thing Leica would warranty? Anyone with any experience in this matter?

Thanks in advance.
