Lowering front seat

Unread post by ekaftan »

My TurboCT has leather manual seats and sunroof. Add that to me being 1.95cm and my head hits the liner all day.


Is there a way I can lower the seats a couple of cms?

Unfortunately not.
All that can be done is to ensure that the seat height lever works normally, with the seat being at its lowest with the lever in the forward position.
The two mounting screws of the adjusting lever are in the habit of escaping when they weren’t tightened properly at the factory.
A look and feel around under the seat may score two lost screws.

If its the liner that covers the sunroof have you pulled it fully back?

Also another thing to try is moving the head rest around to stop your head moving that far back?

Already checked that. They were loose but not off and it did not change much when fixed.

I mayhave to start cutt metal :)
