I am a grandfather and mechanically proficient. I belatedly found out that my 2005 Ford Excursion is not LATCH complete (or compliant). The manufacturer says this vehicle is exempt from LATCH and no upgrade kit is available.
I wish to make this vehicle LATCH compliant. The outboard second row seats have steel loops on the bottom back on each side but no center connector.
I need to find either:
1. Complete LATCH compliant hardware (kit or separate connectors based on engineering specifications ) OR
2. A center LATCH compliant loop and extenders for the sides to connect the current seat hardware to the LATCH side connectors on the car seat.
I am disappointed that Ford chose to opt out of LATCH for this passenger vehicle but I want to make it safer for my grand children.
Any suggestions on LATCH specifications or the actual connectors themselves?
