Replacing rubber feet? (Macbook Late 2008 Unibody)

[macenthusiast]

I have an older macbook laptop and the bottom right (when looking at the laptop bottom up) rubber foot fell off, and I couldn't find it. Does anyone have any suggestions about where to buy replacement feet that will fit this model? I've seen some rubber feet on Amazon for other models and didn't know how well those would fit.

Hello and welcome.

Apple provide the instructions, a long as you can source them somewhere:

If you provide a link to ones you are looking at, we may be able to confirm if they are the correct part.

OK, thanks.

If your MacBook is a MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), then its part number is A1278. If it is a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) its part number is A1286.

Look for feet that fit whichever part number yours is. Those feet probably won't fit your model.
