The rear seatbelts and latches do not anchor through the "slit" where the seatback and the seat cushion meet. The belts (and latches) come up through holes in the seat cushion itself. These holes are located foreward of the line where the seatback and seat cushion come together. As a result it is not possible to snug the child seat base against the back of the car seat. Even with the belt very tightly pulled the child seat moves several inches foreward at the base and rotates sideways. The installation instructions for all the car seats I have tried to fit in the vehicle specify that the belts must come through the slit where the seat cushion and back meet. Is a modification available to remidiate this problem and make the installation safe!! thank you.

The rear window disintergrated suddenly for no reason. Vehicle was parked at time. Also, seat belt location is at an angle, making it hard to reach & latch.
