    Hi Guys,
    I can't seem to find a definite answer.
    Are the m17x r3 and r4 palmrest assemblies compatible?
    I have a new one (code 0WMCFH) and would like to use it on my r4.
    Search confirms it's good for r3 but should it be ok for r 4 as.well?
    Many thanks for your help!

    Hi, hasn't anyone tried it?

    I've ordered the palmrest because I've found it for a reallly great price and factory new.
    But I'm going on holiday and won't be able to exchange it soon. I might also keep it as a spare.
    If someone knows the assemblies on r3 and r4 are compatible, I'd really appreciate the confirmation. Thanks!

    Palmrest assembly m14x R4: VXJ76
    Same on R3 is: WMCFH

    I would suggest you to get the 1st part number for your m17xR4 as they may be slightly different.
