You only need to replace the door cover. It just snaps over the door itself. Open the door and easily pry around the cover egde to remove it. Like when replacing the smartphone cover.

^^^ agreed, YOU don’t have to do anything…the dealer (assuming it was a dealer mechanic, otherwise the indie mechanic) has to pay for and replace it.
