Anybody ever had the actual mounting tab break on the top mechanism?

So I just bought a 2004 Boxster from my Aunt and Uncle. They were the second owners and have had it all but the first year of it's life. Recently, they took it to a know-nothing local shop and for whatever reason the mechanics tried to force the top down. I know it sounds stupid, but someone did it. The plastic rod end broke off of the driver side (as it should in this situation) but on the passenger side the actual tab where the "ball" mounts into the convertible top frame broke. They didn't want to mess with it since the Porsche dealer quoted them an entire new top so they sold it to me for a steal. I assume some number of parts will need to be replaced, but does it have to be the whole top/frame? Is that one "base" piece sold seperately?
