I took a piece of translucent plastic about 1.5mm thick and, using heat, formed a channel out of it that fits over the top of my M6. It covers the RF window, runs over the top and SNAPS over the back hinge. I'll make a pattern if anyone cares. It looks like OEM stuff and if I had my way would retail for around $69.95. ben - ----------------------- I hope it has been helpful. John Collier
