My p12's - Is this a problem?

So today we got a snowday because of a snowstorm, and I built a jump in my backyard. So I went with my new skis mounted with p12 jibs, and when I was at the top of the takeoff, there was a little snow under my boots, so it wouldnt click in. So I pulled on the heel peice (or the dildo) to make it click, but the whole heel peice thing moved back, and when I let it go it came back...then when I got back in my house, I noticed that both of the 'dildo' peices where wiggling around(on both skis though, wich I only pulled on one of them). then I noticed that when I pressed on the brakes, the little peice in front attache to the ski moved up and down(on both of the skis too)

So I was wondering if I should worry about this or not, cuz its stressing me out, cuz its brand new

They are cool. As long as you can still click in and out and they appear to work properly.

my P14's do the same thing in the heel, hell the P18's you can twist the heel 360. you just always have to make sure you have all the snow off the bottem of your boots before trying to click in.

P-12s slightly move in the heel to help prevetn knee damage slightly

The smart man does not know everything, rather the smart man admits when he knows nothing.

brush the snow away instead of pulling up the dildo.

the spring that returns the heel to center gets loose after using em a couple days, or the first day in your case, my whole heel cradle wiggles around about a cm and they are rock solid.
