Macbook Bottom Case Replacement Program

Hello, in January, in this year, I replaced the bottom case of the laptop for warranty because the rubber surface separated from the bottom case. They told me that the rubber surface never again be separated, but 3 months later it separates again. The bad thing is that the new Bottom Case that they gave me does not have the serial number.

Can i use the program "MacBook bottom Case Replacement Program" to solve this problem? I'm from Colombia.

Thank you.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I got my replacement rubber bottom today- but it doesn't seem to fit the same as the old one. This one has gaps at the edges and doesn't have that seamless edging to it.... Anyone else find this?

Just go to the website address mentioned above. It is very fast and free to do. If you are out of warrnty, you have to send back the old part. I got mine the very next day after ordering and it was simple to replace. It even includes replacement screws. My MB was missing a screw so this helped with that as well!

Does your new rubber bottom fit seamlessly or does it have gaps too? Mine can be pressed down further , and I'm worried dirt is going to get inside.

Here is a photo. You can see it fits nice and snug. No gaps anywhere. My computer is a mid 2010 MacBook.
