Savin 4045 ADF plastic guides

[newuser]

I have a 4045 that seems to have a damaged/dirty plastic guide (the clear piece on the bottom of the ADF that contacts the glass, where the fed document passes between and the rollers). At the bottom third of the page I have some heavy shading and lines that only show up when using the ADF, not when copying from the platen glass/printing. Is there a replacement available for this piece?

Thanks

Lift the left corner of your scanner unit and the lines will go away!
I don't thing it's your plastic piece.
Those machines are famous for this starting with Ricoh 1035/45 series. People tend to lean and press the left corner of the control panel/scanner....
Give it a good lift and it's done

I agree with Stephend, that ought to fix it. It's either that or you have a whole lot of goop on your scanner glass.

Thanks for the help. I'll try it. The glass is clean, but it looks like there are streaks on the plastic. For now, I just adjusted the imaging settings to light which didn't affect the copy quality of the text, but cleared of the streaks/shading.
