Pics of BV in new Pilot - comments welcome

[steph]

Hey guys after a struggle I got the BV installed center in the new Pilot. However, it tilts to the side. Because of the seatbelt coming from the ceiling (and I can't use the lockoffs, they just pop open) the seat tilts to the left (if looking at it from the front of the car). I tried to offset it with the tether being anchored to the driver seat (By the way Colleen I found a awesome spot - same as in our 04 - I'll post a pic, it is under the plastic part on the driver side) but that didn't really work.

Here are some pics...please tell what wrong or what's not!!! I had to twist the one buckle coming from the ceiling 3 times and the regular buckle twice.

First pic - I don't like how the buckle is kinda twisted - not aligned straight with the seat

Here is the tether spot under the driver side (you have to remove that plastic thing)

Hi Steph, beautiful new car!!! I see palm trees in the background, you must be where it is warm....I'm jealous :)

I am not a tech but I am pretty sure a slight lean is ok. That happens sometimes with my installs because of the middle belt. I'm curious to see what the Techs think.

Oh yeah, and I love that the BV matches the interior so well!! I am the one that has to have my carseats match each other and the car LOL! :)

Yeah I'm in Sunny California, though yesterday it was sooooo cold - the winds were like 15 - 20 mph and it was 50 degrees (which is cold for us)!! Oh and ignore the water bottle...I tossed it on the grass when I was installing the car and didn't pick up for the pic...I don't normally have trash on my front lawn!!!

LOL about the seats matching the inside. I got a Onyx BV for my Audi and ended up getting the Park Avenue for DH Pilot because it was all the store had and it was on sale (but I didn't really like the pattern). When I got it home and in the car I loved it!!! It matches so well. In fact my Onyx cover has a tear in it so I need to call Britax and get a replacement...I'm thinking of getting a Park Avenue replacement instead (if they let me) since soon we will just have to 2 Pilots and they have the same grey interior. Okay I'm rambling....:D
