I do not own Zips (yet) but my understanding is most folks put the liners on the foot first then step into the boot shell. The above video mentioned @6:58 that you do not have to do so by removing the laces and leave the Zips in the shell. Might lose some of the beneficial molding attributes by doing so, like heel hold and form impression fitting vs hard shell compression?

Take them out and put them on each time - explained near the 6:40 mark how to put 'em on . . . Can see how a heated bag would be nice.

Might want to read thru Zip Fit discussion

I’ll second using stainless M5 over Phillips head screws, be careful not to over tighten. Apply some loc-title or Teflon tape to the screw threads. http://www.alpinecarving.com/parts.html I had to drill out a few screws from a pair of my boots once and I vowed never again.

Coming fall 2024. From EVO 2025 gear preview: "Arbor have some great looking boards for the 24/25 season, starting with the Padre. Designed in collaboration with long-time friend of evo, Erik Leon, the Padre draws inspiration from Japanese snowboarding culture. With a directional shape, set-back stance, and powerful camber profile, this is a high performance deck for low angle carving and surfing pow alike." Jones will be adding a 162 to their 6000 Freecarver line 162 118.6ee 26.7waist 170-220 lbs.

Pulled out my rear liner and noticed a little abrasion outside of the liner on the inside (towards front of board) so I mounted a thin J shaped adhesive pad over the (bone) area; on one side only. So far this has reduced to amount of lift.

Try adding a piece of duct tape to the bottom of your heel to keep snow from packing while on the snow.
