Re: 5587 - Insufficient Leg Room

My seats are different but I think the carpet over the seat motors is pretty close to the same location as a regular seat front. Mine measures about 17" from the bottom of pedal to the carpet. I'm 5"10 and have the seat about an inch forward and about an inch up. Unfortunately there is no lengthening the travel on the tracks. Like Keith, my issue is more with the large wheel.

One nice thing is the seat reinforcement structures under the body runs longitudinal. Should have plenty of room to drill new holes an inch or so back which would be the only way to lengthen the distance. Carpet might be an issue. It would have to be cut in back and patched in front but the bare strip under the seat should still be covered. Not sure about clearance for an underseat heater though.

Downside would be seat would probably have to be moved to let rear seat passengers in and out but should be doable otherwise.
