im not 100% how to do it, perhaps a rivet gun, check out k2 pe's look at the tips, basically its a piece of metal going through the ski, keeps it together

I'd go to a shop and ask them about riveting them, but I think you can do it yourself but the tools might be more than what a shop would charge if you dont have them so you might just want a shop to do it for you if its cheap enough.

dont be worried about them delaming. if that happens, you warranty them and get free skis so it works out in your favor

the warranty will work just fine because you dont need a receipt. you just take them to a shop and they make it happen.
