New helmet spoiled

I want to take some opinions. I just spent $50 on a new Giro a few months ago. Well, one of the velcro patches which hold the cranium strap to the helmet came off. Naturally, I wanted fix this as the fit of the helmet is reliant on them.

Anyway, I tried using some Shoe Goo. Probably not the best of methods to reattach the patch but the only one I thought of at the time. Anyway, the solvant in the glue dissolved some of the foam in the helmet. Now there is about a 3/16 inch indentation in the inside of the helmet.

Should I replace it? I feel really stupid doing this to a new helmet. I really should have known better.
