I took my etrex Venture apart following your process. I was able to get the rubber grip off without damaging it or it’s adhesive. I was also able to remove the adhesive sealing tape without damaging it as well. Allowing me to reassemble the entire thing using the original parts!!.

Also worth noting, in my case the joy stick worked in 3 of the 4 directions. It turns out that there is a small plastic sleeve that goes in the rubber joystick boot and onto the joystick when it’s all assembled. In my case this plastic sleeve was broken, not the actual joystick switch. I was able to use a small section of a Bic pen refill cut to the proper length. I had to go through several pen refills before I found a diameter that fit on the joystick switch properly. It now works like new!!
