Broken foam on headrest of TrueFit SI

We got YDS a True Fit SI about 6mos ago, so it's still very new. DH leaned on the headrest of it while digging for something at a gas station on our trip to my parents' house for Christmas. He snapped the foam in the headrest. YDS is still under 22lbs and short enough to technically be able to be in the seat without the headrest, so I'm not too concerned about it for the duration of our trip and plan to call First Years when we return home on Monday.

Two questions: Does anyone know if just the foam piece is replaceable? If it's not, can I replace just the headrest or should I get ready to order a new seat? As I said, I will be calling First Years on Monday as it is still technically safe for DS to ride in the seat when we head home on Sunday afternoon.

If it's intact but just broken, usually you can tape it in place. I don't know if they stock that piece, some do and some don't.

I haven't taken the cover off to check fully because I'm afraid I might not get it back on. I'll wait until I call first before attempting that. It appears to be cracked and detached from the plastic part of the seat (it's on the left headwing) but still held in place by the cover.

If it crumbled it might need replacing, but cracked and detached will probably function as intended just taped in place. :)
