I have a hard time believing manufacturers are putting pieces on the outside of a trailer for mere aesthetics, but I've been known to be wrong! Even so, aesthetics count against resale. If it were me, I'd replace it. (I learned my lesson on a '14 Mazda CX-5 -- a year or 2 after buying it new, I lightly brushed up against a wooden post, very slightly creasing the right rear quarter panel and door. Decided not to submit insurance claim or fix it. Lost almost $1.5K in value when I traded it in for my new Silverado last summer. To avoid paying the deductible, I drove it for over 4 years, felt sad every time I looked at it, and then lost money. I won't make that mistake again.)
