Any one have a solution for low seats? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As everyone knows the seats are really low on a 2010-11 Camaro. I was wondering for a short guy like me(about 5'5ish) What is a good solution to get the driver's seat as high as possible?

Also, I've read a review saying you cant really see your blind spots. Thats the first time I've heard that, what are your takes on that as 2010-11 Camaro owners?

The seat will go high enough and the mirrors in the correct space you won't notice blind spots

You'll have no problems with driver's seat height. The passenger seat is an entirely different issue (no vertical adjustment). I'm only a bit under 5'8" and with the driver's seat all the way up, my hair touches the roof (no sunroof).

garage sales....booster seat.

I'm only 5'8" and i can raise the driver's seat to where my head is almost touching the ceiling. Just pull up both the front and back of the adjuster that controls the bottom part of the seat.

No remedy for the passenger's seat it seems though.

old school phonebook, although you might have to rip one off a phone booth because i don't think they even make phonebooks anymore. come to think of it...do they even have phone booths anymore?

just raise the seat as high as possible and if its still not good enough for ya stick a phone book on ur seat. As for the blindspots if u have ur mirrors adjusted properly u won't notice em.

I'm 5'1" and I can see just fine. There's no problem with the drivers seat, just the passengers seat.

Personally, I'm ok with the passengers seat. It's mine, so I'm driving it 99% of the time. It's annoying when I am the passenger, but not enough to change it.

As stated above, you as a driver will have no problem with your seat - it's only the passenger seat for a shorter person that will cause a problem.

Blind spots, yup they are there - but turning your head in addition to relying on your mirrors is just about the best anyone can do.

I'm over 6 ft tall so I don't have a problem seeing out the window (or my head hitting the roof/sunroof).. Good Luck.
