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.

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

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.

For the OP this is probably too late, but when I got my Oct'11 MBP and took a long hard look at the feet, reminded me of the same missing feet issue that happened back in the days of the Titanium PowerBooks. Not wanting a reprise, the next day I encased my MBP in a transparent Speck hard shell. Comes with bigger and better feet too. Some may say that the matte black version of the Speck case looks sexier and is even easier to grip thanks to the rubbery coating that gives the matte finish.

My MBP is safely encased in a Speck transparent protective shell that comes with its own feet. So I'm good in that department. A former colleague did have missing feet in his, even lost them cause he never realized they had popped off. Was quite satisfied with the Pawz solution, to the extent that he pried off the remaining original feet to make it uniform all around.
