Years ago, I replaced an upper back seal near the hinge with black yarn, but is starting to wear out? Am I missing any other light trap areas? Any diagrams or pictures of where sealing material is needed? I do not think leaks are from other areas except the back. Thanks!

Slow down.
What kind of leak are you getting? What does the neg look like?
Rollei backs rarely leak.

We should have a rule that anybody starting a thread about light leaks need to post a photo showing the light leak...

Not getting leaks so far, but I would like to know where any seals would need attention in the future. The only area I can see is at the hinge area where the back can be disengaged. Thanks!

That is the only seal on the back.
There is a felt light trap around the back of the lens where it enters the body, but this is only an issue if you remove the lens board, etc.
