I have 2012 Marker Griffons and I was skiing yesterday and landed sideways.  My friction plates on my toe slide out of place and are now stuck and won't get centered again.  Does anyone know what i am talking about/had this happen to them before.  Any ideas on how to get it fixed?

often times in markers spring loaded AFD (the sliding plate thingy under your toe) can get gunked up and when pushed too far to one side will get stuck.

can you use light pressure to tap it back into place...?

I'm starting to appreciate having a fixed, teflon AFD on my Tyrolias now that alot of these threads have been popping up regarding moving AFD's. Is the advantage when releasing really that great?

Good for you!
i keep seeing a lot of "my binding is broken" threads...
.....i never see Head/Tyrolia in those threads...... or salomon for that matter.

nah the shop at the ski resort it happened at put it back, almost center, and said that it shouldn't be a saftey issue.  I just want to know if there is anything i can do about it/ is it common?

i dont wanna give any more advice b/c i cannot see the situation of the binding, im sure your shop guy fixed it just fine,

and that rarely happens but it still does depending on the fall

My Jester ones did it a couple of times... just kicked it and it popped back in. They still worked fine until the day the bindings utterly died when I failboated a lincoln.
