Anyway to move the driver seat back more?
 
Hey guys, I'm 6'4, 218lbs now. The 8 is starting to bother me driving wise. If I can only push the driver seat about a inch or two back more itd be perfect. Otherwise, I may have to start thinking about getting a new car.

Any way we can do this??

i'm 6'3" and with the seat all the way back i have room for slouching even... what year do you have?

I remember doing a search for this same topic about 2 years ago and didn't have much luck. (I'm almost 6'6, 225 lbs)
Basically, there's no SAFE way to extend the tracks that our seats sit in. The first time I test drove the car, I thought I'd never be able to own one since my hair kept rubbing up against the headliner. I just learned to tilt my seat back a little futher then normal and it's worked pretty well for me.

Good luck,

Tilting the seat back does wonders but I am only 6'1" with boots I am 6'2" :D:

6' 6", 212 lbs here. I fit in the 8 but it's exactly at the limit. I wouldn't mind to have an extra inch or two seat travel, but have no problem as it is, and I don't even have to tilt the seat back to feel comfortable. However, I don't have a sunroof which is the main reason I fit in the car at all.

I made my seat bottom tilt back and that helps.

I have an 04'. If the steering wheel can up about a inch or two higher that would be clutch. But since it barely moves up my thighs constently hit it. Pisses me off. :mad:

A DIY of the bolting would be clutch. You think if I ask Mazda they can help me out?
