I had one of these come to me for a private check today. It was a MESS. The guy had a back injury so he took it to the fire hall and they "helped him", so I wasn't expecting much, but it was bad.
First, the bottom and back of the seat were not attached correctly. It has been slid together, but not pushed in, so when I checked for tightness on the existing install, it literally came apart in my hands.
Second, it was installed with (not permitted centre) UAS, routed through the storage position, not the reverse belt path directed in the manual/stickers.
Third, it was a beast to install, and the top tether wouldn't tighten because the tilt lock it ended up behind the headrest of the CRS and the head restraint of the vehicle.
Then there was other typical misuse that I'd expect with any seat.
