I am sitting here dripping with sweat after reinstalling Hayley's Husky in the middle row captain's chair, SBP. I couldn't do it the other day, the buckle stalks are attached to the captain's chair, they are really long and covered in rigid plastic and bolted in such a way that they only swivel upward so far. LBP had the belt angled perfectly to match up with the buckle stalk; SBP I had to crank on that buckle stalk so much that I actually broke the plastic housing the buckle stalk. The webbing is fine, but the plastic around it broke. I can't twist the buckle stalk, so the latchplate is behind the carseat shell, pressing up against the seat shell and outside of the belt path. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it, and it's preventing a perfect install, IMO, because it wiggles about half an inch at the belt path, more toward the front of the seat. But it's acceptable...just not by MY standards for MY seats. I could see this install loosening over time, too. I just don't like where the latchplate ends up, but there's no other way around it.
