Under-Pants Member 2,103 Member For: 16y 5m 28d Gender: Not Telling Posted 17/08/09 08:14 PM Share Posted 17/08/09 08:14 PM Hey guys,For months I have been putting up with my head rubbing on the damn roof in my BF Typhoon.It's an operational electric unit as I believe all of our cars are & adjusted to go as low as possible. Unfortunately I'm a tall farker and the car has a sunroof, so the roof lining is dropped a little :(Is there anything I can do about this & has anyone done similar? Different model's seat rail? Some concealed adjustment of the stock one? Aftermarket mounts/rail's?Any feedback appreciated.Cheers,Kael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my base to be tilted back a little (to grip my thighs a bit) so the overall height can't be as low as possible. if you can handle the base being flat, then it will go lower.

Not real practical though.If you're really serious you could get the oxy out and remove the sliding/tilt mechanism and just fix it where you want it....but that would probably breach a few design rules and be sh*tfull for anyone else driving it.
