One of my macbooks footpad is loose.

Say, I just noticed that one of the little rubber pads is loose and goes *clack*click* if I tap on it and when I put it down on the table.

Just how are these things attached in the first place? Riveted? A loose rivet would do this. My MB is only a little more than three months old...it HAS to be perfect! 🙁😀

No, seriously, How are these feet connected to the chassis? Anybody know? They aren't screwed on by any chance?

The footpads! Lame, lame, lame.

I have 2 Powerbooks and both lost footpads. I believe that the footpads where pressed on. No kidding.

You can try glue. But it never worked for me.

For both powerbooks I went out a bought new footpads.

When I got my MBP one of the first things I did was to get a set of footpads and I installed them right away.

Here is a place that has replacement feet. I have bought stuff from them before and they are pretty good.

Thanks guys. Thanks for the link. 🙂

I am curious how the originals are attached. Can't be an adhesive because mine
moves in its little 'pocket', but it hasn't come off.

Why not just pull it off, add some glue and get it to stick again?

You would run the risk of damaging the assembly if it uses a different securing mechanism, other than glue or press-fit assemblies.
