any 6'2" people with sun roof? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

this site is great for fueling the fire for a new camaro . . . if I'm thinking about all this stuff all day it's only a matter of time until I sign on the line . . .

so, I'm about 6'2" and my head brushes the headliner in Camaros with the sunroof . . . I can cure it by tilting the seat back more, but I like to drive relatively upright

what do you other tall guys do -- get comfortable with the seat layed back, or did you special order a car without the sunroof?

every Camaro on every dealer's lot around here has a sunroof, so I can't even try one without it unless I order it first . . .

thanks in advance!

Yeah, pretty much I crank it back.

I've got a little more forgiveness than you do, I'm just a bit over 6'1" - but I had a Scion TC as my last vehicle, and I got used to the idea of cranking the angle back a bit to avoid the headliner.

You didn't plan on using that back seat for anything, did you?

My wife hates how I position the driver seat. For me, that's a good thing, because I don't want her moving the seat anyway.

I have the back tilted back, the back of the seat down and the front of it up...I'm 6'7" and have about 1.5" - 2" setting my seat this way...not a problem for me...

Susantroy1 · 12-15-2009, 12:59 PM

6'3" and I simply tilt the seat a bit more... kinda sucks if you wear a ball cap

Blacksunshine · 12-15-2009, 01:01 PM

I'm 6-1 with an SS/RS. The 6-way driver's seat also adjusts straight up & down, and you can isolate the front & back of the seat, not just the backrest.

Remember, the wheel telescopes too. I felt all stretched out with the seat reclined until I pulled the wheel closer to me...

Also had a tC. I'm just under 6'3'', but I don't have a problem with the sunroof. I don't have the seat laid back, but it isn't completely upright...

texan · 12-15-2009, 03:07 PM

6'2 and have no problems other than getting in and kicking the plastic panel between the sill and the floormat...frustrating to keep it clean

safety and comfort in the seat is no problem for me

WeeZee · 12-15-2009, 03:10 PM

im 6'3" and have the same problem in my old school 02 35th SS, I havent got my 2012 SS Yet. Slide the seat all the way back and tilt that joker back

DC-SS · 12-15-2009, 03:13 PM

6'2" + and I tilt the seat back a little and lower the seat in general. The only time I brush the liner now is when wearing a cap...

Sweet Lola · 12-15-2009, 03:18 PM

So being 5'9" does have its advantages! Finally!!

Tigertrj · 12-15-2009, 03:39 PM

Im 6"3 and i just tilt the the seat low ansd im good, even with tha seat all the way up

Bert · 12-15-2009, 03:53 PM

you guys all have the sunroof, right?

I'm thinking about ordering one without the sunroof to get the extra inch of headroom, since I can't find one on a lot that way

jonnyb · 12-15-2009, 04:21 PM

I rented a 1SS with a sun roof last OCT and only scrapped the headliner a time or 2 with my ball cap and I'm 6'4. I was still very comfortable in the car except for hangin my arm out the window in crusie mode. That is the reason I order one with the sun roof. So I could wave at the ricers I pass lol
