had a very similar thing on a old gotama, edge was ripped out but not broken like yours. cut out the base, push it back, and cover it in jb weld or gorilla glue. has worked great so far on 4ish days no rails or anything tho...
You skipped the time honored tradition of calling out the company on NS for you beating the fuck out of your skis. How is every 12 year old, and Dolan supposed know what company they need to demand give you new skis?
Dolan is going to skip it because he fanboys over Völkls.
Also, OP - how the hell did that happen with the pivots?? I don’t think that’s supposed to happen

Normally I would shit on Volkl but these revolt 95s have taken an absolute beating and held up pretty good all things considered. I've also skied all my deepest days on them (center mounted) because either my kartels have been broken or my truck has been broken
ReturnToMonkeyYes. I noticed one was loose a little bit earlier but then today when I took my boots out they both fell out
Wait wait wait. You’re telling me that your bindings are still on your skis, and the half moons came off? Show a picture of your heel pieces. Those should be in between the heel piece and the screws, there’s no way that they should be coming off unless they break, or they weren’t mounted correctly.

Honestly, my revolt 95s were really fun for all mountain. Surprisingly fun centered mounted in deeper snow and trees.

I don’t have my pivots in front of me now so I can’t investigate but I know that’s not supposed to happen..
They were mounted incorrectly. The screws need to go into the half moon plates before they go through the heelpiece and into the ski. Whoever did that owes you a remount, or at least an investigation into how that happened.

I mean they worked fine for 3 long and abusive seasons... They definitely became loose only recently. I bet countless times of landing hard or crashing caused enough strain overtime where the tolerances on the halfmoon just became slightly too large and they slipped out from beneath the screwhead.
The best way to fix that edge pull out so that it doesnt happen again is to carefully cut out a section of basearound where the edge crack is and either side of the crack. glue the edge down to the ski again with some 2 part epoxy and, if you want to go belt & braces, put a small screw between the teeth nearest the crack, on both sides of the crack. Then, once the screw is in and the edge is clamped down in the right place by the screw, use a dremel to carefully grind down the screw head a bit. If your cut out section came out cleanly, 2 part that piece back in, if not, get a small patch of base material, cut it to size and glue that in. This is a tl:dr version of this: https://www.newschoolers.com/news/read/How-Fix-Broken-Edge
As for your half moons, it looks like the bottom of the sinks in the plate to make the binding screws flush to the top of the moon have broken off. if you compare it to this pic you'll see.
this half moon is important for the functioning of the brakes, you should speak to your local look dealer to see about getting spares or find spares online.

for the edge I would cut off all of it that’s out of the ski with a fine bladed hack saw and full the gap where the edge is with epoxy. Gflex epoxy is my go to

um no....? this happens all the time with old pivots. they broke. nothing to do with the mounting.
