Dynax 7 - sticky back - any cure ?

I have tried a search here re the above problem but have not been successful. So has anyone come across this 'fault' with the Dynax 7 ? My attention was brought to it by a Dynax 7 for sale on the bay here in the UK this weekend. Listed as "faulty" and that was the only fault with the camera. Everything else was perfect and in working order. The seller said it was not a pleasure to use due to the stickiness of its back cover. It put me off bidding, and it went for L31.
I went and had a look at my Dynax 7, which is stored in its box. I have not used it for about 10 months. I found that there was some slight stickiness at the top left hand corner of the back.
Does anyone have any cure for this 'fault', and to prevent it developing further. One suggestion I have found is to use car interior cleaner, as it contains silicone, but to use it very sparingly.
I hope someone has an answer to this problem.

I've got one like that and haven't found a solution. It's annoying, but doesn't hurt the camera's preformance. Let us know if the silicone works.
I've been told that this is caused by storing the camera in a plastic bag, like a sandwich bag, etc, or even close to one. Something Minolta used in the coating reacts with the chemicals in the plastic. I used to store my gear in plastic bags with a dessicant packs to prevent fungus, etc, but I quit after this happened.
   

LPS-1 seems very similar to WD40,which is widely used in the UK.

3in1 (the oil firm) do a silicone based lubricant spray ,anyone any thoughts on that , rather than wd40?

It is similar, thought not the same. LPS-1 is a petroleum based product. Don't know what's in WD-40, but according to their web site, there is no silicon in it. WD-40 is much more common here than LPS-1. As common as duct tape! The two multipurpose, must have, fix-all commodities! WD-40 is based in California. We use LPS-1 in the electronic service business for cleaning switches and controls, so it was readily available. I believe it may have, or be similar to naphtha, which is commonly used as a cleaner in camera repair. Again, any chemists here feel free to chime in!

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions received so far. At the moment I will wait until someone comes up(hopefully) with the correct cure. I had thought about talcom powder or something similar. As I posted the 7 is just in its original box without being in a plastic bag.
I do have a Minolta 800si and a 600si in plastic bags with silica gel sachets inside, so I had better have a look at them. My Dynax 9 is in a cloth bag with silica, but I believe there is no rubberised finish to that model.
Anyhow, keep the possible cures coming.
Thanks.

Thanks, Fred! Eager to hear the results. Its a very common problem and it would be nice to have a solution. Here another 7 with this issue: Minolta 7 with Sticky Back! Nice price btw.
