Canon EOS 70D Interface Cover Replacement

Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the interface cover, which includes both the plastic cover and the rubber caps over the interface itself.

Note that the Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
