Problems with Rossi fks 14

Hey guys, I have experienced the following problem with my bindings and I was wondering if anyone went through something similiar. I somehow managed to break one of those small black pieces from the toe-piece if the binding (Those on the sides that secure the front side of the boot, see the picture).

I brought the bindings to a shop and they more or less told me that they arent able to fix them. I somehow can't believe that, since it seems like the part is just a small plastic part you more or less just clip into the rest of the binding.
They told me that the only possibility would be to send the binding to rossignol directly and have them check it.
I thought I'd ask you guys before I do that, since it will cost me about 50€ in shipping + repair costs.
Does anyone know if there might be an easier fix to this problem?
Thanks and +K to those who are able to help me!

How did they break? i would say that should be covered by warranty

I don't know how exaclty they broke. I crashed and the boot somehow ejected, I guess the peice of plastic was in the way and the force was too strong for it ;)

I bought the binding from an onlineshop, so I don't really know if I can rely on warranty -.-

I have done this three times this season... common problem with the 14 toepiece. was able to get it warrantied once... but i guess the solution is move up to the 18 if you keep breaking them and it shouldn't happen then.

Find someone who has a spare toe piece. That toe piece is part of most Rossi bindings. Just replace the housing part (make sure to use the same AFD piece).

Parts is a great way to solve this problem. replace it with any axial/pivot toe or send it in on warranty. it is a warranty issue!
