<div class="bbWrapper">I recently purchased this bracket for use in America, and I ran into some problems. <br /> <br /> On both the drivers and passenger side, our floor mat locking tabs are in locations that get blocked once the bracket is installed. This means once you install the bracket, you cannot remove your floor mats for cleaning. And it doesn&#039;t really clear the OEM all weather mats, and really digs into them.<br /> <br /> Also the recommended (only?) American fire extinguisher that fits has a large handle which blocks most of the seat movement in all mounting positions. I&#039;m 6&#039; 3&quot; and couldn&#039;t get the seat into a usable position.<br /> <br /> I think I&#039;m going to stick to keeping the extinguisher in a toolbag in the rear footwell.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Yeah, I think the standards must be different here. I don&#039;t blame Kap industries at all, I knew I was taking a bit of a risk.<br /> <br /> I was seriously considering chopping part of the extinguisher handle off, or buying a white &quot;kitchen&quot; extinguisher (they seem to have smaller handles), but I think keeping it in a tool bag in the rear foot well will offer me more versatility. Then I&#039;ll have full motion of both front seats, and If I do ever have a rear passenger, I can chuck the bag in the trunk.<br /> <br /> If the seats don&#039;t have full motion it&#039;s always a risk bringing the car in for detailing or service. Someone could unknowingly move the seat forward and ram it into the extinguisher.</div>
