How do you get it flat when seats are up in an 2013 Outback? It bows a lot (dealer installed).

Mine has a buckle in it as well. I suppose you could remove existing screws and re-screw but I did not do so because you run the risk of drilling new hole too close to existing hole which would collapse and bore out too large of a hole. I just left a slight buckle in it. In short. I would not try and correct.

You can tuck the accordion like section down; folding it in such a way it folds flat when the seats are in their uprights.

Not sure where the bow is, but it helps if the corrugated hinge part folds down into the space below the cargo deck as the seat back is raised to an upright position. Correct positioning of the velcro portions facilitates this.

According to the instructions when installed rear facing the feet are flipped under the seat which places it in the "reclined" position. When facing forward the feet are flipped down which positions the seat more upright.

Press up on the front "tab" where the strap is coming out. As you're doing that, pull the harness near the top. Be sure to read the whole manual before installing the seat in your car

I don't have that car but one problem I've found is when rear facing you have to have the carseat tilted and it makes the front seats have to be moved up a lot. I think it will git much better when I can forward face

The back seat is fine for a quick nap but not the most comfortable. Mine is always reclined. I can't get it to a straight position anymore.

Interesting. My rear seats don't recline (they fold down). If yours actually recline then ... You can see the spot where it sits in the track to hold the shade, so I guess recline the seat and see if it extends beyond that. If you are referring to the seat folding down that is a different story.

It is not at all upright. It leans back pretty far - which we like because we take a lot of long trips. If you want it to be more upright, you can purchase the angle adjuster and install it under the seat.

Hey Ken, when the rear seats are up, you have to remove the mat from the vehicle. This mat is fantastic! I highly recommend it! Take care!

I installed it on my 2011 outback and I had to drill two holes, one on each side of the car frame. The frame was pretty thin metal and easy to drill. I'm assuming that the structure/frame of our two cars has not changed.

I have two sets on my 2014 out back. No problem. Level the rack before tightening the wing nuts. Suggest you move the back cross bar to the rear position.

It also depends on the slope of your seat. My 2011 BMW 528i rear seat (center) is pretty sloped. So rear facing almost cancels out the recline. You can shove a towel underneath the front of the car seat (towards the rear of the car) to account for that slope of the seat. I have the same seat in my 2007 BMW X5 and the recline is much better as there is not much slope to that seat.

Remove the bolts holding the seat to the floor, slide the armrest under the seat tracks and put the bolts back in. Hope this helps.

Hi! It's not smooth on the bottom but I checked and it hasn't made any dents in my seats. Hope that helps! :)

No outback here, Ford Explorer 2014. Rear facing is a tight fit between front and second row, but I want the best protection for my girl so we deal with a little less leg room until she's big enough that we have to turn it around. I would ask babies r us if you can take it out of the store and see if it will fit your car before you buy it.

The front rest is just a u-shaped rest. It is only there for elevation. It doesn't hold the stock tight.

Mine is a sedan, but shouldn't matter....I pulled the rear seat cushions out and snaked the cable through the trunk to cabin wall. Ran it under the carpet existing at a small slit I cut in the carpet on the floor board right next to the inboard mounting rail for the passenger side seat. I actually ran it in reverse order, from the inside of the car back to the trunk. Just seemed easier that way. Will have to remove rear seat bottom cushion and I also elected to remove passenger seat for easier access.
