URGENT!!! How to re-thread a TF

[jonshepi]

We had a car sickness issue last night :jaw: and when we got home DH started to clean the TF. I'm thatnkful for that but he got a bit carried away. He washed the cover in the washing machine, which the manual says not to, but it's hanging to dry now...I'm sure it'll be fine. What I'm most concerned about is that he un-threaded (I don't think that is a word?) the shoulder harness restraints. The manual doesn't have any info on re-threading them :eek:. They are out of the yellow height adjuster things. :doh:
Help to re-thread them would be awesome...I need to take both kids out tomorrow and that won't happen with only one seat.

Thanks in adance :thanx!:

I had the fun of re-threading one at work about a month ago, so can actually tell you how to do it.


Pull back the flap of the back cover so that it's easier to see the yellow slots that the harness feeds through.
Buckle the harness, and the chest clip - this will let you visualize that the straps are flat and not twisted anywhere.
Drop the strap height to position 1 - this will make it easier to grab the ends of the straps as you re-thread.
Thread the left strap through the left yellow guide - the slot right in the middle of it.
At the back of the seat, grab the strap and pull it down towards the splitter plate. (The splitter plate is the metal piece you see that is attached to the adjuster strap. The splitter plate you will see a picture of in the manual when it talks about lengthening/shortening the harness.)

With the harness height in position 1, you should be able to grab the end of the strap fairly easily. You'll have to stick your hand under the edge of the plastic piece that the manual is stored in, but I think with it being in position 1 it should be pretty easy to grab the end of the strap as it comes through and pull it down towards the splitter plate.


Check to make sure that the adjuster strap is flat and not twisted - follow it from the front of the seat to the point where the straps are to make sure.
Attach the left loop to the left side of the splitter plate. (Attaching the harness to the splitter plate is in the manual.)
Repeat for the right side.


I tried to take a picture of the back of the seat for you, but my camera battery was dead. When I re-did the one at work I didn't think to lower the harness to the lowest position, so I had to put my hand up behind the plastic piece quite a bit, but it still didn't take me any more than 10 mins to do. I think with it in position 1 you should be looking at less than 5 mins to fix it. :thumbsup:

If you're able to take a picture of the back of the seat after you've fixed it, we'll be able to tell you whether it's right or not. Just make sure that the strap is going through the slot in the middle of the yellow strap holders. You'll know you've done that part right if when you slide the yellow knobs up and down the harness height changes with it. :)
