[sdiy] Keyboard stopper Adhesive...

[Florian Anwander]

Hello Pete

with key stoppers you mean the clear plastic strip under den keybed? If 
yes, I never reattach it, when I hade to remove it. In fact the key 
cannot slip out of its position if the keyboard is mounted back under 
the top lid. Its not worth the effort.
