Installation was even simpler than it looks in the instructions, once you bite the bullet and just pull the back seat out by force (I'll never get used to the fact that removing parts from the nicest, most high tech car I've ever owned is usually just grabbing and pulling hard).
Yeah. I'm looking at the Schroth, too. The steep angle that the shoulder belt attachment point makes with the horizontal concerns me. I actually work for NASA and do crew safety stuff. In our spacecraft we never allow such steep angles for safety concerns. I need to dig a bit deeper and see if it is really that serious a problem. The Schroth is DOT approved so that says something.
