Hello Everyone,
I am not able to get a secure install with the Clek Fllo using the shoulder belt in FF position. Vehicle is a 2012 Land Rover LR4, second row passenger side with leather seats.
I feel like I am losing my mind! I have read the manual over and over again, watched the install videos and other troubleshooting / tip videos; I know to get in the seat to depress the vehicle seat cushion and work through the belt several times to pull out the slack. I have also engaged the vehicle shoulder belt locking mechanism. Nothing will keep this seat in place - it literally slides right out of position a good 6"+ in any direction.
As a test, I tried the center position and achieved a much tighter install but the seat was vertically tilted for some unknown reason and it still moved around way more than 1". Notably, the shoulder belt was getting locked off on the right side (as you look at the seat) in the center position, whereas it is getting locked off on the left side in the outboard rear passenger position.
Here are some things I'm noticing that are possibly causing a problem...
1. The angled back of the car seat base causes the car seat to slide very easily on the leather seats. This was never an issue when using LATCH, so I assume it has something to do with the shoulder belt not being tight enough to keep the two lap belt points tight enough around the car seat base to prevent slipping back onto the angled portion of the base.
2. The seat belt slides very easily through the shoulder belt lock-offs when closed. On other car seats I have used, the belt was completely immobile once locked off. Its possible this is one of the reasons why the center position install seemed tighter than the outboard rear passenger side position (two different lock-offs), but I cant say for sure. The belt slides through both of them.
I have engaged the shoulder belt retractor lock and still cannot get the belt tight enough it seems. I can't get shoulder belt lock to click into the next lock position because the red lock-off is in the way; so there is still too much slack when using the shoulder belt lock alone.
Any advice? I'm ready to send this thing in to be recycled. I have zero faith that I can install this correctly because I can't tell if its my error, a design fault / fit issue, or a component failure.
Thanks for the help,
Sarah
