Introduction
This guide shows you how to remove the front cover if you either need to replace the cover, or in order to access other parts inside of the camera.
If you're replacing, the front covers for the Canon EOS Rebel T3, Canon EOS Kiss X50, and Canon EOS 1100D are all compatible with each other (since they are all the same camera, just rebranded for different countries). If you buy a front cover that has a name plate that has one of the other model names than the camera you have, you can always switch it out from the one from your broken front cover (it's held on with adhesive). Front cover replacement parts won't always include a name plate though.
