The funny thing is that I have gaffers tape that leaves a whole lot of
residue, and electrical tape that peels off easily and leaves almost
none, just the opposite of what would normally be true. In fact I
sometimes use the electrical tape to take the gaffers tape residue off
other objects. I remember my first experience with electrical tape. My
father had this cloth based stuff that was so sticky that you almost
couldn't remove from the roll, it seemed to form a permanent bond with
everything. I think my mother still has electrical cords that my father
repaired.

I never had that problem on the *ist-D which had a similar card door.
However black electrical tap would do the trick, or you could use
Gaffers tape.

I have been trying to figure out a way too keep the hatch from
being opened inadvertently. Anyone have and find a solution to
this issue?
I think gaffers tape would leave less residue.
I had the card door on the *ist-D just break off once. I heard a
little "tink" noise while I was walking along, looked down and the
door was GONE! I was in the middle of the woods when it happened, and
had to get down on my hands and knees and dig through the leaves until
I found it.
I used Scotch Brand clear acrylic Packing Tape to hold it in place
until the replacement part arrived at my local authorized repair shop.
I've found that clear packing tape also makes a good protective cover
for the LCD screens. It's inexpensive and works a whole lot better
than any of the commercial covers I've tried. The residue comes off
easily with alcohol wipes - the kind they rub on your arm before they
stick you at the doctor's office.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
