You're absolutely right - I left that part out - I was VERY lucky. However, I tell the wife that it was all due to her persistent efforts as it pays many benefits to do so :-)

Make sure you reward your wife accordingly.

I know the OP's problem is solved.

If it is the other guy's insurance, you are entitled to OEM parts. Stand firm.

If it is your insurance, you probably agreed in the policy to accept aftermarket parts for repairs.

Do like I did - buy a car that doesn't sell well enough to have aftermarket parts makers. There is an aftermarket part for everything Toyota. This is not true with Mazda.
