On the inside of the cover of my A1502 Early 2015 MBP, two of the four feet are covered by large black stickers. So, how do we remove the little piece left behind when we remove any foot that is damaged? Do we just cut through the large black sticker or remove it?
This review was helpful, but it didn’t mention the black stickers on the inside of the lower case. I ended up poking a small hole through the black stickers to get the remaining pieces of previous feet out.
Just peel them back as far as needed, then re-stick them back when you're done. In my case, one did re-stick easily, while the other one didn't, I used a small piece of electrical tape to stick it back. It doesn't really matter that much, either way.
I picked the broken pieces caught underneath the stickers through the little hole from the outer side of the case with pointy tweezers.
