Expanding Battery Case

[padam]

I have a Macbook Pro Late 2008 15"...a few weeks earlier, I noticed that the battery case had expanded and navigating on the trackpad became very irritating and i would get random clicks just by resting my hands on the mac.....searched a few forums and finally went to the apple store where they replaced my battery without any questions asked.

Just wanted to post this on macrumors so that I could help anyone facing the same issue.

Apple's Customer Service Rocks!!!

I have this issue it would seem, new battery in the mail (I'm out of warranty).
Thanks for the post
