Has anyone had issues with car seats in the rear?

I have a 6 year old so she just uses a booster. I've found the red seat belt latch sits way too deeply in the seat. It's totally sunk in. I have a hard time leaning over the booster seat to find it. It also seems to be too far towards the door so that the car seat covers it up most of the time. It's a real pain.
Just wondering if any of you have had similar issues.

Other than that, the F55 S is awesome!

Well, it looks like it'll be shorter than that!

My F55 was completed on September 3 and is currently sitting in Southampton, waiting to board the Endurance, which is steaming in the English Channel from Belgium right now. It will be loaded tomorrow and set sail across the Pond for arrival in Baltimore on September 15. Even if things get slowed up at the port, I think I should have it by the weekend of September 19th and 20th, meaning fun drives are coming soon.

Less than a month from order to delivery is a-okay by me.

Funny, I just had the same issues today, in my F56.

There is going to be a delay. It missed the September 6th boats (no room, I guess) and I hope it'll be on the September 11th boats. The first weekend I'll have it will be the 25th or 26th.

Kinda funny that everything else was so fast and then the shipping introduced the first delay, as my car will end up sitting at the port for at least 8 days.

I'll probably not get mine till November😓. But who knows, if I'm lucky I'll get it late October. Fingers crossed. Can't wait!
