maybe try to epoxy and rivit the plate back on. if u put some rivits like the publics have through it, it might stay on.

as long as theres a base, then it slides. on a positive note. i'd epoxy it from my knowledge but i dont kow much. thats just what i have picked up along the way of shop tech's and on NS.

the base might rip out, but if u try to epoxy it and just ride them and re-epoxy them every time you ride them, youll save yourself the 500 it costs for new skis.

You mean the plate fell off but there's no delam so far? Try to warranty them first. If that's not possible, fill in the gap with epoxy and overlap some onto the base, then sand it smooth.

That plate is there to balance the ski, you might feel awkward without it, if you have another pair of skis (might say that but i didnt care to read) then go for the warranty if not tape a cold beer to the end of the ski to balance it out.

ya i know all about tm's and tyhier core.... first day i got mine, i kid you not,, i went off of a bc jump that we'd benn hitting for hours and drilled a gigantic lava rock hidden under the snow... 2" wide, 6" long and alllll the way to the core. i still have them and this was last year.... point is, they still work... by the way i never hit that jump again.
