So i got the dynastar px 12 bindings and i got them mounted at my local ski shop. So after skiing on them 6 daysthey became loose. so i brought them back into the shop to get them fixed and they fixed them. the next time i went skiing there lose again. Please ns what should i do about this? it may be the obvious choice of bringing them back in, but what happens if this problem keeps occuring? thanks

What ski's? Where you there when they mounted them? Did they put glue in the holes? Did they hand tighten them or with machine and a lot of force?

Glue doesnt really do much but to OP they probably stripped the threads when they put the screws in.

OPTIONS
1. Go in very angry and demand new skis.
2. Get the current skis helicoiled.
3. Burn down shop.

Screws were over-tightened and now your holes are stripped.  You need heli colis.  Or Quiver Killer binding inserts.

Did they use a screw gun or did they screw them in by hand?

probably bad but my bindings have been a little loose for like 3 years. they can just shake a little bit (like 1mm of movement) when there is no pressure on them. it has never gotten worse for me, so i never worried about it
