I just got these bindings, and my other thread was a bust, so here it is, with pics and all, my questions, adn hopefully, your answers.

Question 1: There is a white plastic tab in the back, should this tab be under like it is in the pic? or should it be flush? Does it go flush when the bindings are mounted, or should i just make it flush now?

Question 2: Even though my heel pieces are not engaged, one is loose adn flops around, while the other is stiff and rigid? Is there something wrong, or is this normal?

Question 3: Is there some secret to getting the plastic semi-circle into place, or am i just retarded?


Question 4: which is the right screw for the very far back screws on the heel pieces?

yea. like i said in the PM, those bindings dont really hold together unless they are mounted. the plastic disc hold the spring in, and when you screw it down, its fine. the longer screws go in the back. but stop worrying, the tech who mounts them will know what to do with all the parts. they are fine.

It pops on top of the white part sometimes when you fall.  Just slide the binding all the way out to the left or right and then slide it back in

One of mine is a little lose like that right now too.  I believe it has something to do with the foawrd pressure and the two screws on top of the arms.  Your shop tech should fix it when they're mounted

yeah its fine, when you click in the bindings actually comes up, it piviots off of the main conection of the arms to the main piece that is screwed onto your skis, if this makes no sense dont worry, they are fine
