Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

contractural obligation

If a garage door company installs a new door and the panels fail, are they obligated to make it right if the mfg. of the panels goes out of business? The panels had a 15 yr. warranty but developed cracks at year 9. Garage door co. offered only to give us a discount on new door panels. They admitted that the panel failure were the fault of the manufacturer.
