Never gave a thought as to left and right; boots and bindings should align regardless. Isn't that part of why we pay a premium price for this equipment?
And yes I am disgruntled. Not only because the boots do not line up equally, but also because of the complete denial and deceit while addressing the issue with the warranty folks at Salewa/Dynafit in Boulder.

Exactly. Just the other day I was going to try out a friends ski (same boot sole length), but he wouldn't let me 'cause it was his first day on them. Maybe next timeMounting to accommodate a screwy boot seems sub-par; you'd never be able to use any other boots reliably, nor could a ski partner use the skis in a pinch/demo.

I imagine even a slight misplacement of the tech toe if set wrong during manufacturing would have a magnified effect on heel alignment (the longer the boot the more displacement). So I did take a look at the toe but there's nothing visible to the naked eye. I imagine it would take some precise caliper work to determine that...A mount error would look the same for both boots on one ski. This looks like a boot error. Does anything look funny up at the toe-end of the boot?

Ive mounted many dynafit ,diamirs silverettas , etc. Use jig , glue and mount heel first. Mount toe second with screws not quite snug. Dedicate R. and L. ski. Put boot in toe , alaign heel , snug ft. screws , check alaignment . You may need to repeate this . Change screw tightening sequence if necessary . This is how you achive centering on Diamers also. Your boot is the chassis on Dynafits and the mateing of one dedicated boot per ski is imperative . Good luck. X

1. I really didn't post this to get mounting advice. Nowhere in my post do I ask for mounting advice. There's plenty of templates and great advice all over the internet from wildsnow.com to tetongravity, etc. so could we please lay that to rest?
2. As Charlie pointed out dedicating your binding mounts to the idiosyncrasies of your boots is a bad idea for many reasons. No ski shop today worth its salt would mount bindings as dedicated left and right ski. Imperative is that new boots are symmetrical and free of idiosyncrasies so that any given boot sole length can fit any likewise mounted ski interchangeably. That is the point of my post.
But thank you for the good luck wishes. We all need a little of that now and then.

any way you can get wildsnow to play this at all? frankly that's probably one of the best sites to make a loud noise and get proper customer support response. Major bummer

My opinion, you'll get better results taking your issues to a Dynafit retailer and asking them to help you instead of trying to take them on yourself. Let them deal with Salewa USA. Pro Ski and Mountain Service in North Bend is a Dynafit specialist shop, has 20 years of experience dealing with their idiosyncrasies, and has likely dealt with this problem before.
