The rear bindings rock back and forth. Dynafit is replacing them which is good. Anyway, do I need to cut out some of the Vibram sole to get them to come out of the back easier or is this due to the ski brakes (I have never used ski brakes with Dynafits until now). Or will this ease up over time? I don't want to ruin the new boots or new bindings.

I faced almost all described problems above. Few months ago my top plate broke. Right at the screw hole. And last week my whole binding broke because of this breaking pin and half of plastic around binding broke. I hope I will get new parts and I'm looking after this new anti-twist solutions.

More TUV B.S., very disappointing. Only thing it will do is possibly attract more snow buildup due to uneven surface. If the binding has the fixed brake, yes, basically the WHOLE heel unit has to be swapped out just to fix the AFD. Absurd, I agree. Let us just pray fervently that the misguided quest for favor from TUV doesn't influence companies such as Plum. Lou Shawn, he’s right about not really needing it. More TUV B.S., very disappointing.

Wow...a remount for a broken AFD. He also indicated that the release was not affected by the missing AFD in that they didn't have them for years and it was only now brought in to satisfy their TUV cert. Said it wouldn't affect din release values. Talked to dynafit today…fellow I spoke with indicated the AFD cannot be replaced and the whole brake (and now housing) must be swapped out.
