Possible Fix For Busted Full Tilts?

So what I guess you'd call the highback of the boot has broken where the boot hinges

You can't really see, but under the screw there's no plastic or anything to retain the thing. So if you can hard and flex the boot, the thing pops out and you've got to snap it back otherwise the flex is totally fucked. I checked the full tilt website but it doesn't look like they sell that part, so am I going to have to get new boots?

Weird thing is this happened just landing a jump, I took a 540 fairly deep but stomped just fine, nothing crazy, and when I compressed I noticed a black piece of plastic trail off. I checked my skies cause I thought it could be the base or something then just went about my day until I got home and noticed this.
 
Cool, I'll see if the shop can. My one concern is that since I bought my boot just before FT did a redesign, the shell parts now made may not quite fit. I'll have to ask, but I appreciate the input a lot.
 
Went to one today, 2 issues. One being they don't sell that piece individually as far as the guys there know. And two, my boot is not guaranteed to be compatible with the newer shells since they changed stuff like the last, etc, though that's not really the big issue. Basically it looks like I'm getting new boots. I know where I can get some for a deal so that's not a problem.
