If not, any ideas about the cost to have it repaired?
I doubt Chysler will cover it.
easy DIY - this is the very first repair I had to do after buying mine .
About $5- $10 and 2 or 3 hours.
get a set of male torx bits. ( get a set of female torx sockets too, if you can find them, if not order from Amazon )
Use the BLACK RTV sealant. ( I used Permatex 'Ultra Black', but there are many other choices )
DO NOT over torque the aluminum screws, just over finger tight.
CLEAN BOTH SIDES thoroughly before applying the sealant.
Let them sit for about an hour before putting them together.
( do the passenger side too, while you are at it )
