M2 hazy finder, DIY fix?

I have been looking at an M2, but it has a very hazy finder. All over and equal. No separation visible though, the rest looks and sounds OK.
Question therefore, Where could this haze be, within finder elements or usually on the outside of elements.
The former makes it difficult to clean, the latter should be relatively easy.
The camera has been dormant for quite some time appearantly. The shutter is in excellent shape though.

Have you experienced anything similar and if so, how was it solved?
