M2 Max 16” MacBook Pro dust in between rubber and display

I have had my M2 Max 16 MacBook Pro for about 15 days now and my OCD has been very hyperactive since it is so new. I noticed dust deep in between the rubber seal and the display today. I only use it a few hours during the day and use it when I sit on the couch to work on graduate work.


It does have AppleCare+ on it, but I am not sure if they cover adding thicker rubber seal.


Would the dust be removed with AppleCare+? Can I use a thin plastic supgger to dig it out or is anything else that I could use?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.0
