Super Glue is brittle, has temperature limits, and is susceptable to impact.

How I miss those stars - worthy of ***** Brucie.

Edited to add - although it was funny comment I think if you pay a load of money for something and it falls apart then you should complain.

They would be sure to fall apart if glued them, and once you'd tried to put it right yourself then it would be too late to claim

ok i have only just looked at the picture...is the back section which is delaminated metal or a resin... if metal then there is no way it could get like it is with a fault it has to be impact, if it is plastic/resin then it is possible but unlikely (the kink in it is the suspect bit)

impossibel to tell for sure without seeing the product in the flesh but if it is not covered by warranty then get hold of sokme proper base repair epoxy and get it stuck down, or get a shop to stick it for you, cheap B&Q epoxy is not flexible enough and will not last

Thanks CEM, nice to have some sensible replies for a change.
Yes, its metal.
I'll be taking them to a ski shop when I get them back to se what can be done, your views as always are appreciated.
