Does anyone sell replacement rubber feet for Macbook pro?

Replacement rubber feet for MBP unibody. This might sort the issue with the wobble I have.

This is what I sent. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the input.
Mr. Cook,
I've been a loyal customer for a decade. Recently three of the four plastic/rubber feet fell off of the bottom of my mid-2009 2.8 GHz MBP S/N W89XXXXXXYB. I called the Apple Store I use most often, Aspen Grove in Littleton, CO. I described the problem to a genius. They told me that they would have replacement feet waiting available at the Genius Bar within a week or so at no charge.
I went to the Aspen Grove Store on Wednesday, December 14, to pick up the feet. I met with a young lady named Kacy. She first told me that she would get the feet for me. She then told me that I had to bring my computer in and a genius would install the feet. Then she went in the back for a few minutes, came out and told me that the feet were not available. She said that I needed a whole new bottom piece, but that it would be covered. Kacy went in the back again, came and told me that the bottom wouldn't be covered after all, that my only option was to pay $186 for a new bottom piece.
About that time the business pro, Greg, came up. After hearing the problem he told Kacy that Apple could cover the bottom piece. They then conferred for a few moments, went back in to the back of the store and returned a few minutes later once again reneging on the offer to replace the bottom piece.
I had an appointment, so I voiced my displeasure with Greg and Kacy about being treated like a Yo-yo.
When I had time later in the evening, I called the Aspen Grove store and asked for the store manager. Instead I was directed to a manager on duty (I think), Hailey. I attempted to explained the situation to Hailey, but she continued to interrupt me, characterize Apple employees offers to take care of the problem and then renege on those offers as a "misunderstanding."  She was completely intractible and began to take on a tone of taunting me about the situation. Exasperated, I ended the call.
Hoping for a different experience, I went to the Briargate store in Colorado Springs on 12/26. Instead, I received a whole lot of "so what," shoulder shrugging and indifference from the employees there.
Sir, I understand that things wear out and break, but it cannot by Apple's position that the only way to replace three plastic feet that maybe cost 50 cents is by buying a $186 replacement part, can it?
The position and attitude of your employees in this matter is such a sea change from the exemplerary customer service I've previously seen that I'm struggling to understand what's changed at Apple. An ipad 3, iphone 5, new laptops for my wife and I and a desktop workstation are all on the wish list for my growing photography business in 2012, but I'm sure you can understand my new found reticence at purchasing more Apple products if this is the way I will be treated.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

  • Where can I get replacement rubber feet for Macbook Pro 2009?

    Does anyone know where I can get the black rubber feet that go on the bottom of a Macbook Pro (2009)?
    I have checked with Apple stores and they said they don't have them.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Ha ha! Then my MBP, sitting on top of a RoadTools CoolPad with a 3/4" rise in the rear in addition to that afforded by the Speck hard shell's integrated feet, will surely die of oxygen deprivation...

    Hello,
    The black rubber feet on the bottom of my macbook pro are beginning to wear down and so my laptop is beginning to slide around on flat surfaces... basically the feet have lost traction.
    Is there any way to replace these feet or maybe restore its traction?
    Thanks!

    Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
    Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

  • Replacement rubber feet for MU09 battery

    A rubber foot on the MU09 battery that came with my computer is missing.  Can anyone point me to a replacement part, preferably with an HP part number?
    Note that the rubber feet I am looking for are for the battery itself, not the computer.  The MU09 battery has two circular rubber feet about 0.9mm in diameter.

    I'm always buying old laptops on ebay and fixing them up and they are always missing the rubber feet.  I went to a pool supply place and bought a set of rubber feet for outdoor steps. I cut them to size and glue them on with automotive trim adhesive.  That's probably overkill for you for one foot, but look around your house at tabletop appliances like small fans or lamps or something you might have sitting around that you don't need anymore and see if it has rubber feet on it. You could cut the rubber to size and glue it on the battery.
    Just an idea.

  • Rubber Feet on Macbook Pro mid 2012 Replacement

    One of the rubber feet on the bottom of my Macbook Pro mid 2012 Retina fell off and I would like to replace it. Only parts I can seem to find online are for the entire bottom case (which I don't need) or for non-retina feet. Anyone have this same problem and have a way to just fix the one rubber piece?
    Thanks.

    I have a late 2011 MBP and my rubber 'feet' don't slip on my Formica desk surface. It could be that yours are thinning out, I suppose. Some people have had luck with Apple replacing the feet only while others have had to have the bottom casing replaced, feet and all.
    Try taking your unit into your local Apple Store and see what they can do for you. I'm sure that they'll charge you something but if it's only for the rubber disks, it shouldn't be much.

  • Replacement rubber feet for underneath pismo?

    Some of the little rubber black feet are missing off the bottom of my pismo and cause it to slide and move then typing, does anyone know where I might order replacements over the internet as i'm in the UK.
    Thanks

    You may be able to find some replacements in a hardware store. That's what I did. They won't be the "official Apple" ones, but they will work and will be a LOT cheaper. The ones you buy should have a self-stick adhesive.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • Does anyone have a problem with upgrading Macbook Pro late 2011 hard drive to a SSD?

    Hi Guys i am planning of upgrading my hard drive on my Macbook Pro 15" late 2011 for a SSD, does any one have any problems while doing this, i was told in some cases the mac loses the avility to go to sleep and etc, i would appreciate any come that you may have in this subject.
    Also can any one recomend a good cheap SSD for my mac, i am looking at the crucial version, it appears to be ok.
    thanks guys

    I believe they are up to 2TB in the 2.5" laptop drives.
    Do a quick google on the brand & model first to see what the reviews are and failure rates.
    I use Hitachi in mine.
    SSD's are also an option for you. These are much faster than the traditional mechanical drives, but also much more expensive & are much smaller in capacity.
    Here is a link that gives you some idea of options.
