Then you will have to use Leica Tape or Leica Marker for this project 
.
This method actually works on any rangefinder. I did it to my Zorki and Contax II. It actually works very well.

Somewhere I have an old clip-on filter for my IIIa. I wasn't impressed by the results; it seemed to make things worse, not better.

There were filters made by Leitz/Leica for the VF and RF windows to enhance contrast; OKARO or ORAKO, I can't recall which.
A bit pricier than the tape on the vF window!

Just try to put a line across the viewfinder window with a Sharpie trying to put it through the area where you can see rangefinder spot. It will help you focus on vertical lines of any subject. I am sorry, it came out kind of confusing. hope it makes any sense.
