- This applies even when you can't see any damage.
- Hold the seat or base at the belt path, where the lower anchor strap or seat belt runs.

- It should not move more than an inch; if it does, uninstall it and start again.
- You may need to adjust the angle, or switch from the lower anchors to a seat belt install, depending on your car.
