Any tricks for replacing black pads on laptop case?

A couple of those pesky round, black pads (feet?) have fallen out of the bottom my MacBook case, and I've attempted to re-install them to no avail. Anyone have any magic for getting them to stay in their holes?

Is this a good question?

I honestly did not expect 'DIY' to appear anywhere on that website. Thanks very much!

The 'DIY repair kit' is supposed to be available on the apple website (according to a rep); however, the part# doesn't seem to be available online in NZ. No idea about availability on the 'official' websites for other countries, but I did find compatible adhesive feet (as opposed to the original plastic ones) on powerbookmedic.com for $9 US (about half of what apple charges). If you're picky about getting plastic replacement feet and the 'right' glue, though, apple will happily take your cc info over the phone.
