staingate around macbook pro retina

Hi there,

I have a macbook pro 13inch. I have noticed that around the border of the screen it seems to have "staingate" as i have read online. I would like to know what apple would do to fix this problem. It is over a year old but never had any 3rd party work done on it and i have never had any problems with it.

I had this same issue and was able to successfully get my screen replaced for free at the Genius Bar.

I mentioned that I was having problems with my anti reflective coating peeling and had this repair done for free under a quality program for this issue, even though my warranty was expired. As long as your computer is otherwise in working condition you should have no problems. The repair should take between 3-5 days, so plan accordingly.
