Apparently it's a common problem (soft metal = lightweightness?) but still annoying and at a cost of 65euros not insignificant expense.

You could potentially use two of the same holes if that would work for your desired range of heel adjustment. Dane,

This is good in that there will be room to mount the adjustable heel. Too many holes in skis? If there are an extra 4-8 I wouldn't worry about it. Never been a problem for me. Jared Dane,

Will the adjustable Trab race heel fit the same hole pattern as the Trab Race heel piece? My local shop mounted my Trab race bindings too short and the boots won't go in. I am hoping to change to the adjustable heel piece and avoid having to change out to another model of bindings and more holes in the ski. I appreciate the help. Thanks! A question for the Trab users?

It worked just fine, but the screws holding the binding to the plate are a regular phillips head instead of the pozi drive.
