Let's keep this appropriate -- No bashing or flaming.
I'd like to be able to link a mass thread to NHTSA regarding which vehicles are affected by SuperLATCH, so I figured we'd make this it. :thumbsup:
This is my original thread regarding my problem.
Please post what vehicle (make, model, year) you have noted that is affected by SuperLATCH loosening.
Please also specify about your Radian -- RF or FF, outboard, inboard.

Perhaps I'm just under the impression that "it would never happen to me". But it did. And I'm very upset and embarrassed with myself.
I have my RNXTSL installed FF outboard with LATCH in my '04 Grand Am. It's been there since I got the seat, so a month or two. ETA: This makes it sounds like it's been installed there without ever moving. I mean that it's been installed here, and taken out, numerous times, and I've never noticed a problem. The seat itself has been installed *here* for maybe a week or so. This morning I had to drive an hour each way to go pick up a kid, the kid who would be using my seat.
I moved the crotch buckle to the outer most position because it's been getting in the way. I obviously didn't notice a problem with the install, and I had my arm in the RFing belt path to move the crotch buckle. I didn't notice anything.
We got home and the kiddo got out of the seat. I decided to try to move the headwings down just a tad, as they were up a bit too high for my liking.
The back of the RN pulled off my vehicle seat.
I was very leery to check for movement. There was several inches of movement in my seat.
My installs are rock-the-car solid. I know it's not because it was not properly installed to begin with. It was the darned superLATCH.
Why didn't I notice the looseness? The stupid rubber grips on the bottom of the seat. :thumbsdown:

Remember what I said? This is while I had a kid in the seat. For an hour drive. On the interstate. A FOUR lane interstate.
