Core One broken part in shipping

I received my Core One today via DHL.  The top plexiglass piece was cracked in the shipping process.  How do I order just this piece and the little fasteners that hold it in place?

RE:

Do make sure that nothing else has been damaged. I recall a couple of reports where at first sight the top plate was cracked, but closer inspection revealed that the frame was also dented and bent -- in one case to the extent that it interfered with the CoreXY mechanism inside.

The cracked plate probably means that the frame was sheared to some extent (i.e. pushed from a rectangular into a parallelogram shape). Even if the XYZ parts are all still movable, they might be under mechanical stress now, shortening their life expectancy, or the dimensional accuracy of the prints may be off.
