Raising the driver's seat height - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know if there is a way to raise the driver's seat? Even with the power seat as high as it will go, it is still too low for me.

Does GM make any seat tracks or other parts that, when installed, would increase the height of the driver's seat?

Thanks.

Still too low???? I'm 5'7 and when I raise the seat, my head rubs on the headliner.

Are you lifting the back of the button and the front of the button? Do one first then the other and it raises it up quite a bit.

The adjustment range is pretty high - are you sure you're pressing it all the way up?
Are you 3 feet tall?

Maybe OP thinks his head will pop through the roof like Dino Flintstone

Nope, I'm 5,9 and sat in a convertible yesterday. The problem is that the door sills are so high that resting my arm on top of them is pretty uncomfortable. I don't like the sitting in a deep bathtub feeling--particularly in a convert with the top down.

Anyone have any CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions? And if you are only going to make jokes, could you at least try to make them funny???

I think if you had mentioned this in the first post you would have recieved different responses. I think everyone was responding thinking you meant you couldn't see out the front.

I'm 5'11" and fit fine.. Your arm will go up (as does mine) with the doors being as tall as they are... Just gonna have to put your arm on....the arm rest...

Probably not gonna happen. I'm 6ft tall and my arm goes up slightly to rest it on the door. The doors are very high and that is just the way it is.
