I can’t find a thread that describes the problem I am having. Somehow the plastic on the front cracked and the little window fell off my ski. My local ski shop said I would likely have to warranty the bindings or get new ones which I am working on. They said in the short term it won’t cause a problem but overtime the spring in the toe will be damaged by exposure to moisture. Has anyone had this problem or have anything in mind to solve this problem?

I think youre best bets are warranty or scrapping from another broken pair. Maybe try asking lots of shops if they have a broken pair somewhere? Sorry my dude, that blows.

I had a pair of FKXs (FKS 15 but plastic like the new 14s) and they never had the window on them and it was impossible to get because they weren’t making pivots at the time. It never seemed to affect the bindings I could see how it could but if you are careful after skiing you should be good til you get them warrantied.

Does the window really matter that much? It doesnt look that water resistant in general. Gotta imagine losing it wouldn't be a huge deal?

Moisture will get in there regardless of the window being on or not, those things are not sealed in any sense.

Window or not water will get in there so if your second biggest issue is not knowing which din the lines are, just find a pic on the web and sharpie it on

Or just look at the window on the one that still has it.

thank you for the information, i think I'm just going to try to take good care of them and monitor the situation closely, I did notice on the other side that there is moisture already under the window.. I'm just hoping excessive exposure does not become a problem. Ideally they will last the season and I can figure it out during the summer. The DIN settings from the other window will be good enough if I need to adjust them, thanks again for the thoughts though

Lol, I have the same thing going on, except mine happened from some spilled paint thinner! I've been searching for that window for 3 years.
