New Vehicle Decals Warranty Claim

Hi All,
I bought a new camper van (Autotrail conversion on a Fiat Ducato chassis). in Sept 2017. In Feb 2019 the stick on decals on the side have fell off. I have not used a pressure washer and on the newer models Autotrail have stopped using those type decals and are using more robust materiel. The dealer I purchased from made a warranty claim on my behalf which was rejected by Autotrail as 'not a manufacturing defect'. And I was directed to purchase replacements at £4o per side.
The warranty manual does not mention decals and I have kept the vehicle (due sept 19) and the conversion area serviced and stamped.
Is there any point in taking this further with Autotrail or would I be wasting my time?

Wasting time I would think, for £40 worth of stickers.0

Well, £80 (£40 per side)
Does not having the decals devalue the vehicle?0
