Taking out dents in the type 109 chasis?

Knocked my 3 day old type 109 into the corner of a door and got a nice shallow dent right above the viewfinder. 
 

I confirmed it has no affect on the viewfinder, thank god, but have folks tried to “pull” these kind of debts out before with any luck?

...or is this just a “send it to Leica for $300” kinda boo boo?

Or just leave it...

If you paid by credit card you might be covered for accidental damage.

Otherwise just accept it.

Count it as a working wound..(Like my son says, once blooded, it feels used) -  Or if you are affluent, trade it in for a new camera..  L

Decidedly not affluent. I guess it’s character.

I assume call my creditor and ask. Thank you.

To be honest, unless the actual workings of the camera are damaged, I doubt any company will entertain a claim against a small dent. You could always push a small piece of gum into the dent and use a black marker to color it.. As they say That's Life"  go out take pictures and forget the ding..

I would contact one of the companies who do repair for hail damages on cars 😂
