Did anyone else have problems re-snapping the cover after installing this seat rear-facing? The rebound bar prevents you from accessing the snaps...

Yes, until I realized you don't have to unsnap the cover to install it :) You can work the belt (or LATCH) through where it needs to go without unsnapping the cover. There are slits in the cover near where the belt path is. Hope that helps :)

Yes, I found that I had to pull on the whole cover to give it plenty of room for the snaps to get down where they go. Once the snaps are down I would use one finger to snap them in place while holding the fabric with the other hand. It wasn't too much after I had done it a few times.

It does get easier! However, my go-to move when folding down and popping into my truck is to always make sure to have the handle bar facing up. That way you can grab it with the right hand, unlock with the left and make one swift motion when opening it up. Until it becomes fluid take advantage of the snap that keeps the seat stable to the frame at least for forward facing. I haven't parent faced in a long time and can't remember if there were any mentionable nuances there. Good luck!

I had the same problem. I ended up buying another seat without any tightening bolts.

I took mine off a long time ago. He bent up the support bars something awful. If I did not throw it away you can have mine. All you would have to do is pay me back for the shipping and handling. I know it is still in excellent condition. Will gt back to you about it. e-mail me at smoriar@optonline.net if you are interested.

I didn`t care for the seat cover. The seat pops right off and I just stretched the thick, home deco fabric I chose right over the existing fabric, which is very thin, and stapled with a staple gun on the underside. Turned out beautifully and was easy as pie!

I was having the same issue with my old top but unfortunately the answer is no. I purchased the top a while ago and to be honest it was one of the best investments for my Sidekick. Replacing part by part will eventually lead to a new top anyways. Good luck!

not properly, it wouldn't snap on like the other one i had. looks like a manufacturing error. The fit it Ok but one push from the top part of the cover and its off.

Does anyone have the same problem as in this video, where the seat rocks back and forth? _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZFzP0czM0

Got any pictures? I remember feeling like I was stretching it a bit when I first installed it. It's also much easier in warmer weather. I could maybe help out more if I saw pictures and better understood the problem.

We don't seem to have this problem. Be sure all the packing tape has been removed, and also if you put down the stablelizing bar, that you put it up to close. We just pull up on the seat and push in. Hope you have better luck.

I uninstalled the seat, put the cover on, then I pinned the cover into the sponge part of the seat using s hooks and re installed the seat. there are videos on this on youtube as well.

Installation problem. I installed mine the other day using the three hole cover and it swivels without issue.

We had the same problem. We just got a wooden board the same size as the seat and screwed it on. It worked find. I don't know where to buy a new on.

Wow, the snaps on mine are tight but I haven't experienced this. I would try gripping the mesh in between the 2 snaps but close to one of them and pulling apart from there, or carefully pry between the two halves of the snap itself with a screwdriver. Good Luck and I hope that helps!!!

I had this problem and just decided to screw the cover, the tailpiece which is supposed up slide on is what you are referring to I assume. Mine would just fall off because it wasn't crimped properly. You can try using pliers to adjust the edges of both the cover and the base if its important to you.

I had that issue as well but I bought some Profile Design Boxer Bar Ends which can be easily installed and give you an upright position when riding the bike. They're available through Amazon as well.

Does your latch snap into place if you pop the cover down? I have to pop cover down and finagle the latch to secure it, otherwise cover will pop back up and not latch.
