ISOFIX Anchor Point Misalignment Query
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 9:19 am
Hi folks, not sure if I've picked the right forum here but i have an Isofix Anchor Point query here:
For the first time today i tried to fix MaxiCosi infant car seat base unit to Isofix anchor points in location directly behind drivers seat.
I already have a child's Recaro isofix seat fixed in position behind front passenger seat no problem
I couldn't fit the base unit and when I looked, the anchor points do not appear to align correctly. one of them appears further recessed than the other making it impossible to engage both the isofix seat connector. only one connects. I am pretty sure its not the base unit as I lifted it out of our other car to attach the QQ today.
i have attached a basic picture which I hope shows the disparity and wondered if anyone else had experienced a similar issue? The three pictures are the left side (looks normal), the right side(where it seems set further back and raised towards the plastic housing ) and a full picture showing how only one anchor point is visible.
My concern is that these anchor points are welded onto the chassis (so I believe) so if there is a flaw somewhere it is not an easy fix.
I've nonetheless booked it into a dealer to get an assessment but wanted to canvas this forum for opinion.
thanks
Steve
