Just as further encouragement for a repair vs replace
We had someone back into our 2018 when it was pretty new. They put a small two inch dent in the center of the rear tailgate near the bottom. Noticeable but not big damage. Insurance covered it as the other driver was at fault.
Total cost after replacement tailgate, remove and refit, Re spray to match etc. $10,000. Yes - I'm not kidding
Massive labor costs to disassemble all the sensors, wiring, remove and install rear glass, heated windows, etc. Dozens and dozens of new fasteners, clips and plastic pieces. The order sheet was two pages long with little parts
I'm sure you could do it for less but a good quality spray job, I presume an auto glass place will have to fit the window in, lots of small parts and hours of labor.... I'd definitely suggest a repair. A good body shop should be able to do that for a few hrs of labor
