model nr is A1181.
The whole edge is cracked chipped and fallen off.
My problem, I think is derived from this.
My trackpad will register mouse button press if I put pressure anywhere on the upper case (except the other buttons ;) ) be it finger or elbow.
Is this because of the missing edge?
And where can I buy a upper case with Norwegian keyboard layout?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

You can "norwegize" your keyboard by just swapping the required keycaps. Howto video here.

Your top case is most likely the culprit here. I would search on eBay and deal with a reputable vendor. These top cases are a dime a dozen, but the Norwegian version might prove to be an elusive find.

Apple replaces topcases for free on these macbooks. I just replaced mine, almost 4 years after purchase.

+ This is the first I have heard of Apple doing this for free. Could you PLEASE give us more information on how you go this done along with your Apple repair case number. Thanks, you may be helping a lot of people.
I live in Croatia, and i took it to an Apple authorized reseller. I saw it somewhere on apple discussion forums that this is a known defect (broken palmrest). It was about a month ago, i can't find the paper i got from the store. But the warranty code was something like TOPCASE, or MBTOPCASE. I don't have that MacBook with me because my sister took it with her when she moved to another town.
The edge breaks on either side of the trackpad because the lid magnets slam it close, and there are tiny strips that stick out. So they replace it, but i'm not sure if the new topcases are better designed.
If you have chips and sharp edges,along the front edge,take it to a mac store and they will replace it free of charge(it was a design fault,people were cutting their hands on them)they did 2007white macbook with worn out trackpad while i waited (july 2011)and no questions asked.I live in london.
