Does this look familiar?

Then you have the infamous MacBook charger "strain relief issue". There was even a brief replacement program in the U.S. for this flaw.

Most people seem to wrap some tape over it and wish for the best... which looks horrible and only lasts for a few months until the tape peels off and leaves a sticky goo.

I have put together a photo tutorial describing the best repair method, since there were no other guides online. The result looks great and lasts a lifetime:
