Rubber Strips Peeling Off, Under HP Warranty

[crueldad]

Hey, thanks for taking a read.  I'm just desperately trying to get the attention of someone from HP. 

My laptop is less than a year old, so still under manufacturers warranty, and both rubber feet are peeling off.  That's fine, I understand these things do not last, but there is no way I'm paying $30+ for replacement strips when it is only 6 months old.  The issue is that HP seems to think my warranty has expired, despite the fact that I have submitted proof of purchase to dispute that.  I have not heard anything back from HP about this dispute, so I am at a total loss of what to do.  HP won't talk to me unless I pay for their out of warranty phone support, and that is obviously out of the question.

Thanks for any help in advance.

It's a little tedious, but peel off the adhesive and use some 3M 3mm double sided tape like this 3M 1mm 2mm 3mm Sided-super Double sticky heavy adhesive tape Mine is newer than yours by the time I replaced ram twice and redid thermal paste, I need to do that.

Christ, you've needed to replace the ram twice??

Yes, I ordered GSkill ripjaw as it's been my fav for years, but the laptop didn't like it, so ordered 32GB of Crucial 3200 ram to max it out.
