Canon does not offer parts for sale directly to retail customers. | |

Canon sells the replacement part for the models that allow replacement of only the cover. The 5D Mark II is one such model. The 5D Mark III is not one of those models. | |

By definition there can't be an OEM version of something Canon doesn't sell, and they don't sell these, do they? | |
