That's the problem with the NOS label most think it means pristine old parts and it doesn't, what is does mean is I have had this OEM part on my shelf for over 20 years and it has the usual shelf wear. With NOS you should expect shelf wear and other minor flaws. If minor flaws were not discussed then may be you have a case , if you didn't ask about defects maybe not, but you should always expect NOS to have some defect from age and moving it around the store or shop. NOS parts can have rust flash over, kicks, dings and minor dents if its a panel, it only means they are old production parts, it has no meaning as to quality. NORS is another misconstrued label. Its the same definition for aftermarket old parts and not meant as a quality label
