2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen RFing passenger outboard
I checked the seat when picking DD up from daycare today. The strap was visibly loose and had abt 1.5-2" of movement. I tightened it back down to "rock-the-car" solid and strapped DD in. Abt 30 sec later, it had 0.5" movement. By the time we got home, it had over 1". I hate to think that's she's been unsafe for the last few weeks (before this last install, we'd always done the seatbelt install). I'm planning to file this evening and call skjp tomorrow (may be diff b/c their hrs and mine are close to incompatible).
I'm going to check the install in our Saturn Ion tonight or tomorrow, but I suspect it's fine. In that car, the adjuster is up in the belt path.
ETA: Filed w/ NHTSA. Is it odd that there was only one choice for the model #? On my seat it says US19500. The only choice on the form was 10600. I also had to choose a "day" for the manufacture. The seat only says 10/09, but without a day, the form kept kicking it out as an "invalid date of manufacture". I finally just assigned it 10/1/2009.
Another question: Should I install my other radian in this car too and see if it still happens? That one was manufactured in 8/10.
