The little plastic screw which goes into the mechanical cable release is available; easy to lose and very important. When dirt or lint gets into this hole, it messes up the mechanism and must be replaced. I'd get this cover before the other ones. In fact when I lost most of them, I called Nikon in Montreal and they gave them to me free!
