Replacement Feet for the 13" MacBook Pro?

My wife's 13" Macbook Pro's Feet have basically disintegrated. When I opened the case to put more ram in, it was painfully obvious that it needed to be fixed since now there are holes through the case allowing dirt in. For $149, I could get a new bottom case, but I don't really need that. I just need the feet. Is there a way to buy them? I don't see them on the site.

Some things to note: The options left by Mayer will not work because the feet for this design are somewhat integrated into the case. The condition they are in now has left holes in the case and the ones linked are meant to attach to a case. I have not checked in with the Apple Store since the Macbook Pro does not fit to the recall regarding feet and I'm bit nervous about them coming back and saying I will need to replace the bottom case on my dime. But maybe should see if they can help.

These are for the earier model but may be what you need: http://www.welovemacs.com/mbp15rfeet.htm...

Here's an alternative: http://www.the-wabe.com/notebook/laptop-...

If you go into an Apple Store they may just give you a couple but I haven't seen a place to buy them yet.

Is this model the one with the rubberized bottom? If so there is a recall if the rubber starts to bubble.

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

No, it's not the rubberized bottom. This is the one that has black plastic/rubber feet a little larger than the size of a dime. The bottom case can be seen here: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Lower Case

Apple now has replacement feet for these models.

Instructions here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5236

If you are still under Applecare, you are likely covered for the costs.

If you are not, the feet can be purchased from Applecare (2 feet per DIY kit, about $15 per kit plus shipping). The Apple kit contains everything you will need (feet, alcohols swabs, superglue) except the screwdriver.

The feet can also be found at other sellers with a google search.

I installed 2 kits on my 13 MBP (all 4 feet). Looks and feels original.

+ very nice find

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

I went into the store to have them replaced but they wanted to keep my computer overnight and I need my computer for school. The apple guy told me to order them online. I called a week later, and within 1 week or so, my computer went from "serviceable" to the person on the phone at apple support saying my computer is now "vintage." It is a 13 inch mid2009 macbook pro.

Because it is "vintage", they told me they cannot order me the feet anymore. I took it back into the store and they won't do it at the store anymore either... SOOO STUPID.

I looked on amazon and ebay but most people gave bad reviews and said the feet sold on there were plastic and slippery on a table.

Any ideas of where i can find the actual replacement feet like the original?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

I'm surprised they wouldn't help you. While the computer may be vintage, the feet are the same for the 2012 macbook pro's which are not vintage. Meaning they still have access to the part.

These are made by apple for your computer. The replacements are not as soft as the original feet but they are made of the same material.

Just a note. Apple no longer allows you to buy the replacement kit anymore They want you to have to pay a $20 per pad repair cost in the apple store. I was able to escalate my issue with an apple phone tech until a manager ordered me a kit but the regular sales people on the phone don't have the option themselves.

Also if you buy them online make sure you're getting the adhesive glue with it. Otherwise you'll end up using something not ment for the pads and it will degrade faster.

It helps if you are good looking helpless female when trying to deal with 20 year old boys in the store. Of course that works in almost any store when asking males for anything.
