Woohoo! VW is removing the weight limit on the top tether when the seat is installed with the belt. YAY!

They're submitting a LATCH Manual update to reflect this.

Hallelujah.

ETA: The revision just came out as a LATCH Manual update.

We are very happy to announce that Volkswagen Group of America has taken the time and effort to further review the maximum weight limits for tether anchors used with a seat belt and has made a revision. Please note the page numbers in your LATCH Manual that need revising on the attached file.
This is a significant change that will promote reduced head excursion so please update your LATCH Manuals as soon as possible and tell your friends about it!
