Anyone heard if GM to address Passenger seat - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Michael_Js · 08-27-2009, 11:52 AM

I do agree though, memory in the driver's seat and a fully adjustable passenger seat WOULD be great!! I have NO idea how my girlfriend will feel as she hasn't bothered to check one out yet - she's waiting for mine - and SO AM I!! Waiting....

thebighar · 08-27-2009, 12:01 PM

Let me tell you even after you fixed this, if it is an issue, you're wife would find something else to bitch about. lol. Anyone should feel lucky to be a passenger.

Uhh...I'm 5'4ish and the passenger seat was fine for me...

Lord Grey · 08-27-2009, 12:26 PM

I vote for memory settings for the driver's seat and outside mirrors. I'm 5'9" and my wife is 4'11". She thinks it's a royal pain to make adjustments to all of the controls and mirrors every time we swap drivers.

The passenger seat is a lesser concern for me, personally. I do think it's just plain dumb that it's a power seat, but not fully adjustable like the driver's seat.

When I drove my wife around for the first time in my SS her comment was:
"I won't be able to drive this car, I can't see out the windshield, the seats are too low"..
I'll just let her keep thinking that. lol

Coming soon to your Dealer to address the passenger seat issue, as well as being used on bumblebee stripe installers who put them on crooked or with bubbles:

Nope, the owner's manual states that it's manually adjustable, but it isn't. My wife sits on a pillow.

They prototyped this car for three years, I don't understand why someone didn't address this.
GM, Please make some kind of adaptor...I'm willing to pay for it, if it was available.
My one and only complaint with this car (actually my wife's complaint...I don't sit in the passenger seat)

michael's maro · 08-27-2009, 05:37 PM

I solved the problem, it only cost me 29.95 at bed bath and beyond

caverman · 08-27-2009, 06:32 PM

Looks like I'm going to have to do something similar. Mine might cost more though because I'll have to find a black pillow case to go with it.

GTAwheelman · 08-27-2009, 06:38 PM

am i the only one wondering why passengers NEED to see perfectly out of the windshield?

Some people get car-sick if they can't see out the front windshield.

Other than that I hope you're kinda kidding...

bobby35ny · 08-27-2009, 06:43 PM

Nope!!
Fbod has already said the seat is like that to save cost and weight.

Has anyone looked into taking the "height adjustment" parts from another GM car and installed it? Is the passenger seat in a G8 similar in size, and does it have a height adjustment?
