Depends on how far out and where they're coming loose. If it's way at the tip or the tail (non-snow contact), you can use some really small screws and drill them into the core in between the 't' shaped part that holds the edge in. Pre-drill it with a bit that is slightly smaller in diameter than the screw you're using, then throw some wood glue in the hole, then put a small screw in there. You don't want to go through the core, so we're talkin really small screw here.
If it's in the snow-contact area, it depends on how it's 'coming out'. A pic would be great, I could tell you exactly what to do.

if it's under the foot or side you can hammer it back into place, then use just a little epoxy, then ptex over the epoxy.

on my lines the edge was broken and coming out so I took it to two shops that said they couldn't do anything for it. But one place had to re-epoxy the base twice to put it in temporarily.
