It's purely cosmetic and may not be worth the delay of trying to get it
bback to NY ,"fixed", and then returned to you. A small application of
brown rubber cement, then clamping with rubber bands should solve your
problem. Put small cardboard shims over the guilty area to apply the
pressure there. Be VERY careful if you're glueing above the back latch
mechanism. I can't tell you how many OM bodies I've seen with the back
glued shut (usually with crazy ((super)) glue). THAT would void your
warranty.
