Push it, itdoes not say how many times it can go thru or if it has to be the original owner, just what is covered and what is not, Period. They would prefer that it only go in twice and after that thru a dealer, but now hwere does it say that it can only go in twice. That is one of the specifically mentioned repairs covered by the REA. If you feel more comfortable there are repair suggestion somewhere on the web that tell you how to glue and solder it back on.
