I am not exactly clear on what part you are talking about. A photo might be a good start. You need to understand in warranties I am a middle man who submits reports and tries to get warranty coverage, this is going to be a hard sell to the company, that is all I am trying to say, but until I see it, it is only speculation. I couldn't actually replace it until I got the other one back but I could start doing the leg work with a photo and see what the people at HQ think.
