- Viano ex long, 651 2014. S211 646 2009 (till the Gov't drones blow 'em off the road)
I've the Unwin system, similar enough to the link,
Simple enough in theory. But my 2014 Viano has rubber strips across the top of the seat rails.
It improves the look but interferes with the Unwin lock in clamps, in that the rubber needs to be clear of the top of the rail so the clamp can sit, slide a little and be locked in.
While I have managed to get the clamps in and locked it is a lot of faff, and for wheelchair in / out the rear lock downs need to be out while the chair is rolled in / out. Trying to site them while mum waits would take a fair while.
I'm reluctant to cut away the rubber strip in parts.
Has anyone experienced these and can suggest an easy method that I'm not seeing?
