I would have to say you should replace it. If half of it is gone, it isn't really doing it's job is it? Not sure how it broke, but couldn't that other half fall out at any time? If it did fall out,and hit another car on the road, you are going to be in big trouble. That is just my opinion though.

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
yeah change them out .... but do both sides ...... you could also look into chevy leaf swap.......... don't kn ow much about this though ..... if you don't want to invest alot right now just get some leafs from your local pick and pull.
