MacBook Pro (Early 2015) Rubber Foot Fallen Off

I have recently had to pleasure of having one of my MacBook Pro's Feet fall of the underside, of which it is not very loosely held in it's place by whatever is left of the weakened glue/sticky adhesive. However from what I have researched Apple seems to just full blown replace the bottom case of in the event of this happening which seems kind of wasteful. Third Party replacements seem hit or miss from what I see and well the other 3 Feet are fine so I' want a replacement that matches. Is anybody here knowledgable of Apple's Policy on this? and yes, this is important because well I have to put my MacBook down on surfaces you know and the loosely held on broken Foot keeps falling off.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), Windows 10 Creators Update (15063)

You mean ask Apple? No I haven't, I read allot of stuff that said really they won't much bother but I guess it could be worth a shot.

I'm in the UK so. The iFixit European site only lists the older Feet for the 2009/10 MacBook Pro Unibody style.

No, don't bother about Apple. As far as I know they will not supply small components. But there are several Apple 'specialists' that advertise in local papers.

Stormfront have their own workshops for some of their stores. Worth asking there ... but go in and ask personally

I have dealt with Stromfront in the past Yes, for that repair they had to send the computer away but I think that was because it required disassembly. I use thats my best shot then, Thanks for the Advice. Still a bit ticked off that my £1000+ MacBook has it's feet held on by some simple adhesive.

Let us know how you got on. I, too, use Stormfront, though more for accessories than anything else. Try to find the location of where they sent your Mac away to. That is where the spare feet will be lurking.
