The P1MD should lock if you set them up right - they sort of snap into
position. And you can give them a smack to make the fold down before
getting on the lift.



Ah... yes, that worked, I was kind of afraid to push too hard on my
highback and breaking them... I'm a little confused at the "no
screwdriver" bolts that control my highback rotation. I've flipped
them out as I could see the hinges, but there are very difficult to
rotate and I'm afraid of snapping off the plastic levers... looking
more closely, I see the little blue spacer thing is already compressed
and cracked on the back binding (from overtightening I suspect).
Should I take a wrench to it? Hey, can I order those parts from Burton
directly?


I just fitted my warranty replacement highback to remind myself. On my
bindings (2 years old) the lever is aluminium and the plastic
washer/spacer is black. With the levers flipped out I've tightened them
finger-tight, then folded them down. Seems secure. I got some spare
assemblies from the dealer - they told me that it's easy to lose them if
they're not tight enough. I have enough spares for both bindings (4
assemblies) and could send you a set if you get stuck - assuming they're
the same. Hmm. Looking again at the bindings, the amount of plastic
around independent forward lean pivot is a bit of a worry...
