Charge for repairing the lid that has backlight leak due to a dent

My 8-month-old mac accidentally fell on the floor. It now leaks backlight at the bottom left corner (which has a dent from the fall). What are my options if I want to get it repaired (pricing and repair shops)? Is it just cosmetic or can have major issues down the road? I have come across a similar post but it is from 2017, hence posted this to get recommendations on when I should repair this (from third parties) and if there are any additional insights.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Did you sign up for AppleCare+ if you did then Apple will repair your display at a reduced price (about 2/3rds of the total cost).

Sadly, there’s not much you can do here ;-{

Apple designed the lid so it really can’t be taken apart without breaking it and the discreet parts are not available. This forces you to replace the entire lid assembly for any issues with it.

While not overly hard you’ll need to replace the entire assembly MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2016-2017) Display Assembly. All of the Touch Bar systems are setup basically the same. Here’s the best guide to follow MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar Late 2016 Display Assembly Replacement
