Plastic Cover - Rear Hatch

[3Series]

FYI,
I had the plastic cover that "folds down towards you" when you open the bottom portion of the rear hatch replaced.

It developed a crack so I had it replaced under warranty and the new part is much beefier and the felt behind it, which I've seen has been one of the causes of rattling sounds is also beefier.

With this new piece I can sit on it or place heavy objects on it while I slide items into the "trunk" without fear of cracking the plastic.

Did they give you any hassle about replacing it under warranty?
Mine is cracked, but i assumed the warranty wouldn't cover it
