Has anyone had experience getting the BOA system repaired on their sportiva boots?

I have a 1st gen G5, and I love the boot, but the anchor point of the BOA cable has come unstitched.  Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this and had a repair performed.  I think most mountain boot cobblers are focused on resole repairs.

BOA will send cable and dial, but this sounds like it will need a cobbler to repair because it's stitching at an anchor point that is the problem.

Backcountry Cobbler out of Lander seems capable of anything

Does this solve the stitching issue? Are you going to hand sew the attachment?
