Info

The metal bars are there to give support but also give the clips from the back of the key cap something to grab on to, note when installing the key cap the side with the metal bars always face down so if you can see the full length of the two bars, you have it backwards. The Second and Third generation space bar key was made of translucent plastic with two rather heavy duty reinforcement bars at the top and bottom, the fourth generation version went with a complete metal key which should infect make the key stronger and more reliable, but in reality this is root of all complaints with MacBook Pro keyboard. We found the plastic clips from the back of the key to be very fragile and tend to break off from moderate use, or from heavy pounding of the keys. We note earlier some keyboards were damaged straight from the factory, so make sure you inspect all legs and clips from the back of the space key cap, if any of them are damaged or broken off then its time for a replacement as you do not want to prolong the issue as it may also lead to hinge clip and damage to the entire keyboard.
Closer Inspection of the Keyboard Key Cap and Hinge Clip Make sure to inspect all points on the back of the keyboard key cap, to the untrained eye everything looks fine, but if the tabs are broken then it will make installation of the key impossible, save yourself the hassle and inspect before installation. In the example above the clips on the top left left and bottom left are both damaged.
