Look pivot 14 breaks bending/breaking off?

Any suggestions? One of the breaks on one of the skis is completely broken off, and two on the other skis are horribly bent to the point where I have to tuck them over my ski in order to ski without having substantial resistance.

DeepskierWarranty

And if they don't warranty, at least you can buy new base plates for the heels from Rossignol(FKS)/ LOOK (Pivot). Everything gets replaced except the actual heel piece and the 2 female threaded black adjustment bars that extend from the sides. I know that my shop actually keeps them in stock in wider sizes. This is due mainly too the demand for wider skis and reusing current pivot bindings. They run about $120-150 a set in most shops that I know of. This is the best way to repair pivot heels when brakes or plastic plates are cracked or broken, in my opinion.

1.) Make sure you have the proper size break for the waist of the ski it's going on
2.) Don't be falling like a Joey all over the place
3.) See step one
4.) Warranty will not do anything

Ok I just saw they were $74.95, plus shipping on evo. I had to dig for it though. I am not 100% sure if that is the price for 2, I would think so?.... DIY, if you got it, good luck :)
