04 Honda Ody:
Center 3rd row. FF lap belt installation with top tether. No movement side to side, about 1/2 inch movement front to back. No twists of the seatbelt stalk needed - just muscle to tighten the seatbelt. A much, much, much easier install than in the captain's chair. I will not be putting this seat in the captain's chair anymore since this install was easier and just as good.

anyone with an earlier model Expedition install?
I've noted a 2005 Expedition and a 2001 Explorer as the closest to my vehicle. And I don't know if the Explorer install was rf or ff ? Or if the Expedition install was 2nd or 3rd row?

I'm still hoping for more input on center seat in 2nd and/or 3rd row.. '98 Expedition. Middle row has retracting belt. 3rd row has, what is it, lightweight locking latchplate ??

Any input there? Similar vehicles I just missed?

And sorry if this derailed from the primary topic.

I'm going to try to consolidate the information we have into an easier format. Or less confusing.
