Unibody MBP Rubber feet replacements...

For whatever reason my right front black rubber foot swelled up just slightly and no matter how hard I tried to force it back in it it wasn't fitting properly anymore. Would just creak and click when pressed. Subsequently the lack of a flush fit seal made the double-sided adhesive dry out and the rest is history.
Local Apple Store = Genius Bar appointment = Sorry dude can't help
Authorized Apple repair center = Don't know what to tell yah man
Google + eBay = Zilch
Short of jacking one from a display model LOL where the **** can I get stock or replacements of these? It's been a big waste of gas so far. Any clues?

If the reason is a manufacturing problem, and your unit is under warranty, I would expect that the repair would be free. Every part is available for purchase through Apple field service and, let me warn you, a small part does not mean that the cost is low. If I were you, I'd try to reattach the foot using RTV (silicone rubber).

  • Rubber Feet Replacement

    I've read many discussions about rubber feet falling off of some macbook pros. I've lost two of my rubber feet, and I'm trying to get the approx size or length of the rubber feet on a 13'' macbook pro. It is not under warranty, and apple would have to replace the entire bottom plate just for two feet. I don't want to spend $50, when I spent over a $1000 for this. If someone can tell me where to purcahse these same rubber feet for less than $20, I would very much appreciate it. Please and thank you.

    i have the same issue as you. I posted back in 2010 with no resolution too.
    However, I just found out about this.

    I am going to check out my local Apple store and see if they honour this because mine is from 2009.  But I had this happened to me late 2010, and I posted on this forum about my experience.  So hopefully they will honour this for me even though mine is more than 2 years old.

  • Anyone knows where can I find rubber feet replacement for my MBP (unibody) in the UK?

    After 2 years one of the feet fell off...  I went today to ask to the Apple store and they told me I have to change the entire back of the MacBook Pro!

    The same thing happened to me!
    I bought a replacement from eBay:

    Arrived the following day, stuck it on, job done.
    Can't tell which is the replacement so I'm happy:)

  • 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.

  • 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

    Is there anywhere I can buy replacement rubber feet for my MBP? I tried using rubber stick on feet from the hardware store, but they don't stick very well to the aluminum, especially when it gets hot.
    --Thanks.

  • Do the rubber feet on the MBP fall off???

    Hi -
    I got my MacBook Pro back in June.
    The rubber feet on this thing are great, keep it gripped to the table, keep it elevated slightly...
    Problem I've encounterd recently is that the rubber feet are getting some scratches on them.
    I suspect it being due to my just putting it on a table, the table must have at times, had little crumbs or debris or something that could have caused it to scratch? I don't know.
    The scratches are minimal - they are, for the most part, cosmetic.
    My fear is that these will fall off. I've read that Apple keeps the MBP overnight and wants $50 to replace the feet, and that the feet actually screw into the case.
    With all that being said, is it likely that the feet on the MBP will just fall off or break off??
    I'm loving my MacBook... but seeing how these rubber feet get scratches so easily, without really even having anything sharp touching them, I am a bit concerned. I've put it on a surface, and I'm guessing something very small left over had scratched the rubber feet. I'm not sure... I'm not an expert on that. The scratches are minimal, I'd consider them to be cosmetic, but this is still a concern of mine.
    Thanks.

    You can get them from the Apple store. I know the geniuses definitely have them, or they used to. Don't know about the people actually working on the floor.
    For the new model with the wide black feet? Already?
    I take it you now have a paper-punch-sized hole where the foot was, correct?
    What I might do while we wait for replacement MB AL feet to become widely available (in any case), is get some Avery removable colored dots to cover up the hole(s). If at all possible, if the missing foot is from the screwed-on case rather than the access panel, I'd move a remaining foot from the removable panel to the case. The feet look as if they can be pushed out from inside.
    I'm not sure how they are installed on the MB AL case, but it'd seem you got a poorly glued one.
    So far we're fine. If enough people report foot loss here's hoping Apple'l put up a tech note about it.
    It's conceiveable that your foot failed so early because the MB was exposed to an unusual temperature/humidity environment, or an out-of-spec glue job slipped through QA.
    Every one of these new MB's & MB Pros are warrantied till at least October of the coming year, so it shouldn't cost you anything if there are enough instances of foot loss reported.

  • 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.

    Courcoul, greeting friend;  Might not those feet subject the MBP to high altitude sickness?
    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...

  • How to find rubber feet for mbp 13"?

    I've lost one of the rubber feet on the bottom of my macbook pro 13" 2.6 GHz core duo. What can I do please? Can anyone inform me, so that I can find a solution?

    Any hardware and many other stores such as Target or Walmart sell little rubber or felt furniture protectors that you stick to the bottom of items you don't want scratching the furniture or wood floors. Try these.
    Or see if you can find replacements at the Apple store.

  • 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.
