Default VIN sticker replacement

My car was in an accident and the drivers door frame was replaced which included the VIN sticker. Can the body shop get a new VIN sticker for my car? They are going to call GM and find out but I know I can get the answer here. They said that they have gotten VIN stickers for some Fords they have repaired. They said the district manager has to come out and install it on the Fords.

Sorry for the bad news, but no. Even with warranty repairs to the door and if it was current for the model year being built, VERY hard, just about impossible. '06, non warranty repair, impossible.

The policy is:

Sold Vehicle (Delivered to First Retail Purchaser)
There is no requirement to replace certification and tire pressure labels after the retail delivery of a vehicle. No alternative method of producing the information is available.
Exceptions - The only exception would be in the case of incorrect vehicle identification number (VIN) on the certification ...

I have tried to get them for C5 cars and was told GM will not issue them. Heat Gun the sticker off the old door and put it on the new one.
