Yea a slight tilt, but it wont move the seat forward and tilt it all the way with the tether, at least it wont on mine. I don't have the bench.

the tether mount on the bench is in the seatback vs floor, so it can move and tilt if using latch.

It's because of the captain chair, since the tether is to the floor. On bench the tether anchor is on the seat back so the seat can move freely.

Thanks for sharing the pic, looks good without the armrests! I was expecting to be a noticeable opening but it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I just tried to take the caps off to remove but couldn't get them to budge. What tool did you use to remove the cap before getting to the torx screw?

Box cutter tip. It's super easy just put the edge in and lift up it'll pop off.

No it'll look just fine and kids go back and fourth with no issues. Fucka minivan

nice, i like the no-armrest look. might give that a try. we have outgrown car seats, but the inaccessibility to 3rd row through the middle of captains chairs is annoying when we need to carpool. the motorized tilt is just way too slow.
