About a month ago the rear rubber foot start to peel off in normal usage. I think it's a combination of heat, since the rear of the laptop gets more CPU heat than the other two feet; and also the included case for the laptop is really snug and pulling the laptop out I think both stretches and snags all of the feet. But due to heat, this rear foot is softer and the glue is not as effective.
Anyway it'd be nice if this is a self-serviceable part that I can replace myself, especially because I'm traveling out of the U.S. during which time the warranty is going to expire, but the problem has happened before the warranty runs out.

after trying to put it back in place it won't fit because it's stretched
