One clip broke, and deal says I need to replace the entire thing??

KrnAndy

Accidently broke a clip holding onto my pillar while installing an aftermarket hood (lol i know stupid)

clip was weak prior im guessing and it snapped really easily.

It looks like it's attached to the base of the hood hinge and the pillar,
I went to the Nissan dealership near me and asked the technician to check it out to see if it's an easy fix.
Told me I would need to replace the entire outer pillar, because when pulling it off to even attempt to "replace" the clip the other clips will break.

Is that my only other solution? to get a entire new piece and paint it, just cause of the small clip?? Here's a video to get a better idea of where it's located.

(It's the white clip)
