I've seen this at a friend's car. It kept swiveling. He said he did not care about that. How easy/practical is it to fix/lock/unlock it to your like?

Locking the phone mount in the position you desire is pretty simple. Just make sure that the lock is pushed all the way in and it should stay.

We had the same trouble. It took about 5 tries to get them in the right position. The position of the arm assembly is critical when the center nut is secured. Sounds easy, but drives a person crazy. I really don't know what happened , we just kept changing the secure position until, VOILA! they were in sync. Sorry , wish we could be more helpful. If you can , pick a Saturn mechanics brain.

Hi, it is normal for it to wiggle for slightly. If the fitment is too tight, it would be hard to remove and re-insert. It should fit tight enough so that it won't slide around though.

I will check. But its in my wifes car. Ill let you know. It is very nice product. What vehicle are you trying to put it in? There is a lip at bottom that gives it strength. Hang in there. Ill get back to You when my wife gets home from work.

Ours hung up on it too. We took the cylinder out and used a knife and smoothed the housing. We scraped a little an put back in then repeat until it turns.....The lock cylinder hangs in the housing..it is not the key hanging in the cylinder.

Wrap a little bit of black electrical tape around the black plastic part in the dash, then press the knob back onto it over the tape. The knob won't pop off anymore!

you keep cranking it open and it will auto tilt, mine does it on its own now :-/

Notice the hex cap in the middle. that is a small wrench to adjust tension on the leg locking devises. I had one leg that was still a little loose and that wrench fixed it up just fine. Just pull it off the leg to use it. It has the added advantage of probably breaking if you try to over tighten the nut. I did have a problem with the swivel head. The portrait/landscape swivel bracket's knob to lock it tight allowed to still wiggle slightly no matter how hard the knob was tightened down. Talked to Lee at customer service and he sent me a new head immediately. Didn't even ask for the old head back. Excellent response, but I haven't received it yet to see if it had the same problem or not. It looks like a good product for the price but I wouldn't want to carry it very far. Good luck with it, Dan

I might have got lucky. I found a mechanic who could do that for me(reasonable) and he was able to just throw that sucker on and away I went. I've had no problems with it since.

Drill the right-size hole (3/4", I think), then notch the top part just slightly. There are flanges the pop out on the sides that hold the adapter in the hole, and the slightly bigger one by the hinge keeps it from rotating once in place. This works perfectly in both vehicles I installed it in.... almost looks like a factory item.

I mounted the interior portion of the lock upside down with no issues. It was not designed with a dead bolt in mind, but like I said, it has work perfectly and was quite easy to mount and program.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

Get a screwdriver and really get in there, it'll tighten! Just took a lil more than a few twists.

I agree with a previous response, that you really have to press down hard to get the two pieces together. It shouldn't be a problem after that. Honestly, I don't remember it being too much of an issue. We popped it together and put it in the car, and haven't had the need to touch it since. Britax is nothing short of awesome when it comes to returns/replacements/etc...so if you don't think it's right, don't use it. Call them and ask for another one or whatever you feel best doing. Good luck!

I just hold it and turning it to the left while tapping with hammer. It worked for me getting the locking screws out. I used it on two vehicles so far. no problems with it.

I had the exact same problem and didn't even realize there was a way to tighten it on the back. I used a penny from change in the car and it fixed my problem perfectly.
