Hatch switch

Hey, I'm looking for a place to buy the rubber button/opener that opens the rear hatch on my R53. Mine woks about 10% of the time. Is this strictly a dealer item?

Hello, see here for the grip handle on the hatch that has the rubber and the button. Since you are up north the lens can pop out it not clipped in or moisture / salt can corrode these.

Follow the Gen 1 grip handles R50 R52 R53 . They have a more pointed end design vs the gen 2 version.

Thanks and its a quick switch in / out.
