Build quality
Hmm. So last week as I was in Penn station waiting for a train to upper bumblefuck NJ (well, Florham Park) and I noticed one of the rubber stoppers on the bottom was half out. So I pushed against it with a finger and it popped all the way out... and a screw came out with it! I guess the screw had been loose and during the flexing and bouncing around of travel the screw had worked it's way out and pushed the rubber cover out with it.

Fortunately I had a plastic bag to put the parts in until I returned home and could screw it back in again. But it does make we wonder about the build quality of the machine.

The rubber stopper in the bottom of what (or whom) ? Vital-content-missing-error, methinks.

The first sentence does seem to suggest that you were removing the rubber stoppers from the bottom of Penn Station. I'd leave those alone.

Your mind reading skills are terrible. You should work on them.

Well, just in case you WERE thinking about removing the rubber stoppers from the bottom of Penn Station, it's nice of elibalin to advise against it.
