What is the name of the Part that holds the strap and has VIVE written on it ? Can I order that part individually ?

Elias -

You can find that part, as well as the center strap holder by searching on eBay for HTC Vive headset parts. I’ve attached a link here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-HTC-VIV...
