I received an email that the product I ordered is on back order ... is that standard for preorders or does that mean I won't get one from their first shipment?
Wow, you did do well, but then again, you got a great deal and it was almost new, so that sounds like it worked out well for both parties. Ours has new DOMs when we purchased, but we paid a bit more (about 25% off list) and they've been used for about a year and a half, so I'm just I won't get too much less than the prorated amount off what I paid for our time used. But we'll see how much them being discontinued affects that. I think it will also depend on if I can sell it/them before the price comes down too much.
Yes, we have two 85s right now in our 07 Forester. The incompatibilities I'm concerned about are the booster belt guides, because the 85 is the only one that works really well with them (although we'll be keeping at least one 85 anyway), and the click tight system. It sounds like it won't work with all vehicles and I saw something about belt stalk being ahead of seat bight. our bight is up above the seat crease, so in a sense our buckle stalks are in front of it, but I don't think that's what they mean, is it? But I'm easing my nerves by remembering that if it won't work in my car, it might work in the secondary car they sometimes ride in and it's a great deal. Really, if I knew it worked, I'd would order two. Otherwise, who gets the new seat??? I anticipate trouble!
I bought a FR85 in January for $205 from Albee and when I heard about the 90s coming 3 weeks after we got it, I was able to sell it on Craigslist for $195 within a week. The DOM was Jan 7, 2013 so it was still literally only weeks old.

What do you drive? Can you fit a regular Frontier in it? I'm optimistically expecting very few incompatibilities.
