Not sure what you can do a this point, so far down the road. You may have to eat the cost of a new OEM replacement part, unless you can persuade the dealer or Insurance to replace it, but that will not be an easy task.
I wonder how this would be approached for a lease car? Would the fact that the part is a "recycled" part cause problems at lease turn-in??
