Short on techs, and space, and lots of seats to check. My wrists hurt. My shoulder hurts. Why? The last install of the day. 2004 Volvo XC90. I have a personal problem with Volvos. This one almost won me over. Almost.
I opened the door and saw FFing XTSL (something NEVER seen outside my car), SR22, FF MA. XTSL- 5 yr old, SR- 2 days old, MA-22 months. Dad did PERFECT installs. He only FFed the 22 month old do to feeling there was not room to RF. He was all for RFing, if I could make sure the driver and passenger had room. Ok, I like a challenge.
He put a rolled small towel behind the XTSL. Why? Because the latch was slipping. The rolling towel changed the geometry, and it worked.
For the next hour and a half, I make sure I could RF the 22 month old, got the driver's seat less gangsta, and removed the towel. Yeah, removing the towel made the latch not work. The buckle, for a seat belt install was pointing towards the front of the car. I tried over and over, hence the wrist and shoulder pain, to get the install to work. Didn't work. So, I didn't push the seat back. Left a slight gap. Latch worked.
Want pics?
