How to get a successful install? MA and 99 Tahoe

Pretty much the title says it all. The seatbelt stalks are really long on the Tahoe and I can't get anywhere near a rocksolid install RFing. I currently have the marathon in the center seat and have it as tight as I can get it, and we are only driving places we absolutely have to, but I am not happy with the install. Any ideas on how to install it better? Do they have seatbelt stalk shorteners? It must be a seatbelt install - there is no LATCH.

If your seatbelt stalks are webbing (as opposed to rigid plastic or cable) you can twist them down, up to 3 full 360 degree turns, to make it shorter.

If you're having problems with a Marathon definitely do NOT go for a Radian.
