MacBook Pro M3Pro: Rubber Trim Coming Off—Suggestions?**

"Hi everyone, I need your opinion. Do you think I should be worried and how should I proceed? I have a new MacBook Pro M3, just three months old, and today I noticed that the rubber trim at the top of the screen is coming off. I can’t go to an official service center because there isn’t one in my country. Do you think I should take it to an unofficial service center to get it glued or adjusted, or is it not a big deal and I can leave it as is?"

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

It's probably okay, but it's difficult to impossible to be certain. I certainly would not recommend having anyone glue it unless and until your screen starts to have problems. Someone messing about with glue is more likely to cause damage more than they are to help with the situation (which may not need correcting in any case).

If I may ask, what country are you in? Apple has authorized service in many countries, though not all by any means. We could double-check.

Regards.

Yes, sorry, you indeed don't have any authorized service. Just try to ignore the issue as best you can.

thank you! I'll probably try not to notice it for now and not worry, it's really better this way than to do harm, I'm in Russia now and unfortunately I can't give it to Apple for service ((I bought it in Berlin a couple of months ago
