I took it in for a few minor things before my first phase of warranty ran out. They took care of everything, including the OFF damage.

When I first told the service rep about it, she took the stance of "well, it was your fault, but we'll see what we can do". The part costs very little, like less than ten bucks. I think the low cost, along with the XOC sticker on the back of my vehicle, allowed them to replace the part.

Anytime you take your X in for service, make sure the XOC sticker is on your vehicle. I think it helps the service people "do their best", because they know you might talk about them on the message board.
