1. The CANON CANONET 28. 
2.& 3. The light seals are in need of changing: the seals on this camera have desintegrated and become 'sticky/gooey'. A thorough cleaning is necessary before replacing the seals.("Interslice" seals used as always - google: "interslice seals kit Jon Goodman")
4. Cleaning out the old seals in the top groove is probably the most 'fiddly' part of the process. I found it easier to get a 'better clean' after removing the top cover. Removing the bottom cover plate:
5. Two small cross-head screws secure the bottom cover plate to the body. BE CAREFUL when taking the cover off...
6. There is a small clip which acts as a spring- tension/support for the battery cover door. 
7. I placed a small strip of masking tape to hold the clip in place. 
8. The 'seal' around the film rewind-release button has also desintegrated and needs replacing. In some cameras, its possible that the seals have desintegrated past the 'sticky/gooey' stage and have dried up completely - this stage can be worse. The 'dried up' pieces are just like having dust 'stuck' inside the camera. 
9.The base of the camera after cleaning.
