Default broken convertible assembly please help!!!

I recently purchased a 2007 corvette convertible, i knew that the top had problems and now after searching, i found the problem. The driver side rail where the bend is on the convertible top is broken where the rivets meet. My question is can i just order the parts from gm and repace it or does that have to be done by a dealer? Has anyone else replaced these parts? Any advise is better than no advise.
