Broken boot hook/eyelet, fixable or possibly warranty?

I'm thinkin' of buying a pair of Burton sl-7's, the problem is that the top hook for the boot lace is broken off.
They are like 5 or 6 years old, but they look brand new.
Do you think Burton would fix the hook?
just because they look like they have been ridden less than a handful of times?

Or is it possible to fix it myself?
Has anyone done this on their own?


I've read some reviews & they sound really good.
here is one review

Strenghts: these are the last/best lace up boot burton has made that was worth purchasing. the right mix of stiff and forgiving , full lace up normal boot styling with a insane supercar carbon fiber look. the best boot burton has ever made. hands down. period. i've ridden sl-8, sl-9,sl-10's ... the speedzone makes them crap.
Weaknesses: the only weakness of this boot is the fact that they discontinued the laces the next season ($%#@ speedzone) so this boot is rare like a zebra unicorn.
Summary: buy em if you can find em.

Who has used these? & are they really that good? Did I find a zebra unicorn for $25?

Thanks
TT
