So far the only problem I've found on my one week old Eos is the straps holding seat belt to seat seems to pop off even if the wind is blowing. Not a big deal but it makes it difficult to reach seat belt. Any suggestions. I thought about gluing them but then it would be hard for the poor souls sitting in back seat.

Hopefully this will be the biggest complaint I have :)

I've not experienced this problem in my Eos, however, I had similar problems with some military combat clothing snaps that look exactly the same. Darned things would pop open if they were looked at wrong.

I fixed them with a really high-tech solution that I'm willing to share with you.

Take a pair of pliers and a bit of cloth. Use the cloth to "pad" the jaws of the pliers and then gently (this is important) gently squeeze the female connector edge just slightly (I'm not near my car, but I believe that's the one on the strap side).

By gently squeezing them a little, the connectors will "sit" on the nib of the chair tighter and require more effort to pull off.

If you squeeze too much, you'll never get it on again... So just do them a little tiny bit at a time until they sit the way you want them to.

:)

good luck!
