If you have taken a video (or want to ... hint hint! ), post them here! Make sure you describe your problem. I know we've got a separate thread for if your car is affected by the SL problem (report here!), so let's keep that all in it's own thread.
Perhaps this can make easy access to forward to SKJP/NHTSA with *visuals* of our problems.

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 were 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.
