Crooked pivots

Sorry I was getting tired of reading and responding to this thread but I posted what they said when I called them. Sounds like they will try to fix them but not give me new skis. This is my finals week then I am going home for winter break and will actually go into the shop that did it. The school I go to is 8 hours away from home and that ski shop

thats fucked up bro. Get a mom to get heated about it, they always respect older anger people and no one does that better than moms.
 
They visibly fucked up. At the very minimum they should fix it and refund the mount cost. I would think some store credit should be coming your way as well. Also never go to that shop again unless they make things 100% right.

I would get my money back to use at a shop that doesn’t suck
 
Minor threadjack here, but it's relevant because they're pivots. Just got my skis back from getting mounted at the shop. It looks like the heel is not mounted flush. You can see the screws between the ski and the binding in the second 2 pics.

Should I take these back to the shop? Any risk of pullout if I ski them? Will tightening the screws fix this? Are they fine and I'm overthinking?

Looks like they need to be tightened, it's easy to do yourself. But it wouldn't hurt to have shop do it if its convenient for you

Under torqued, or they volacanoed the holes when drilling. I’ve heard volcanoes come from a dull drill bit and shavings/crap still in the hole.

Had this happened to my BRAND NEW billy goats last year, but not quite to the extent of yours. I was pissssedddddd

Not a huge deal but if you do ski them they do have a higher chance of ripping out due to the screws not all the way in. If you tighten them you would break the glue seal which could let water in the core. Just bring them to the shop and they should be able to fix it pretty easily by taking off the binding, adding new glue and making sure they tighten them all the way.

What do you mean by volcanoed? The top sheet on my ski looks like its pushed up in a "volcano" shape around the base of the screw

That is exactly what he means. They coulda tightened them down to fix that but didn't realize it

Volcano-ing is caused by the screw shank bottoming out in the hole and the threads force the ski material up and out of the hole. If you try to tighten a volcano'd screw, you will likely just strip the threads that the screw made in the core

So is this a big deal, or not? Trying to figure out if I just need to go back to the shop and ask them to please tighten it, or if more is necessary

Idk what you'd define as a big deal but I'd make the shop re do it. The healpeice needs to be flush with the ski or slop/play could develop. There's a chance it may be fine, but the shop could have done better for sure.
