Two of the four little rubber feet underneath my 2009 MBP 17" have come unglued and disappeared. Is it possible to find replacements anywhere?
Got a tip for us?

Replacing rubber feet

Here's a funny thing...I took my work 13" late 2010 Air to get a new charger b/c of frayed cable and a rubber foot that came off and I lost it. I thought they would just glue on a little foot, but nope, got a whole new bottom. Apple said they don't just have the rubber foot to put back on. :shrugs: All under AppleCare, so np. Actually glad I got a new bottom on it since there were some dents in it from something I did to it...
They do - they're £8.20 each from Apple, and they can order it. They probably couldn't be arsed supergluing them on (it's quicker to replace the bottom case).
The Apple Store does this service.. at $10 a foot.
Apple also has a guide to replace it yourself

I use "furniture pads" from IKEA, I don´t know what you call them, but in sweden we call them möbeltassar and use them under chairs and tables to protect the floor/woodfloor. Works like a charm, much better than the rubber feets that Apple use.
