Has anyone done this? Even with the seat adjusted all the way up, at 5'9" it's a bit too low for me. I can't prop my elbow on the window sill, and my eyes are so low they're nearly level with the dash. To drivers behind me, I probably look like a shrunken ninety year old, with my little bald head just barely in view through the rear window.
Anyway, I took the seat out to try to figure out a way of getting it about 2 inches higher. The only really practical way I see is to build a simple mount out of flat stock that uses the original mounting holes. Probably easy for a skilled person. Unfortunately, I'm not that skilled.
I can drill holes, and do simple bends, but I can't weld, though I might be able to bolt it together. One serious concern is that it is strong enough to be accident resistant, since the seat belt is bolted to the seat, if the seat moves in an accident the belt won't do much good.
Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, experience? Thanks.
The mount I'm thinking of making would look something like this one from Good-win for a Miata, but not so pretty:
