    The rubber pads or maybe just the adhesiv which holds them in place are/is dissolving. Has anyone had the same problem or better has a fix?

    Mine are only just starting to do this now, probably because I usually clean the screen with a damp cloth, or sometimes I get real lazy and just use a damp baby wipe which has a percentage of alcohol in it. The glue itself is what's dissolving, it's hard to get a glue that works well as the rubber pads will expand and contract with the temperature changes of the laptop and its surroundings. When mine eventually fall off, I'm going to attemp to use a small amount of rubber-cement to re-attach them. It's available in most supermarkets or hobby shops.
