Forward bed platform separated from extruded hinge

The front fold out bed platform on my 2011 Bullet 188 EXP 'popped' out of the molded hinge. It looks like I need to remove the tent cover and then remove the entire platform.

I don't know if the hinge is a part that can be purchased. Anyway, this can't be the first time this has happened so I hoped to see how someone else approached this repair.

The forward and aft queen size beds fold down (exteriorly) and are covered with a sturdy tent cover. They are easy to set up and break down, so I don't want to give up on this camper.

Thanks for any input or pointing me to an existing thread. I was not sure what these would be called in RV language and my thread searches did not help me find what I was looking for.

It isn't easy to find images of this camper online so perhaps if you post some images of the part you are attempting to replace it might be easier for folks to come up with suggestions.

The attachment has an arrow pointing to the problem area. It is looking like I have to figure out how to remove the entire tent canvas in order to try to repair the 'door'.
