I emailed G3 last summer and they said they'd be happy to warrantee the skins. I didn't want to give up the skins I'd cut to fit my skis, so I decided to put a new coat of the Ascension/BD glue on them. They stick great now, but I wouldn't recommend the glue renew process, it was a horrible headache and you shouldn't have to do it after <1 season. I'd take them back to where you got them and get some Ascension skins if you can. If not, warrantee them through G3...
Hope that's helpful.
Peter

I really like the tail attachment system of the G3's way more than the BD attachment systems, and regluing doesn't take more than about ten minutes, so I don't mind the minor inconvenience.
Unless your original G3 glue is covered in dirt and pine needles...no need to cook off the old glue with an iron and heavy duty paper...just brush on a coat or two of Ascension glue and you'll be in good shape.
Also a good idea to carry some of those rubbery voile ski straps in your repair kit to lash your skins to your skis if they catastrophically fail in the middle of a tour.

After some bad experiences I religiously keep snow off during the day, use Skin Saver sheets for every run (tho the Scotsman thinks I'm nuts), and dry them thoroughly as soon as I get home.
