| I very much doubt you would be able lower a standard seat but u may be able to get an aftermarket seat (maybe racing) that will be lower but u could alos loose some comfort with that too |

yeah, well, this is kinda i stupid idea, and kinda illegal, unless ur smart!!!
ok, take the seat out, and put one them bean bags in there, now cos ur supposed to have a head restaraint (head rest), just put the current one on a pieca wood, and bolt it on from the rear tray!!, hehe.
yeah,sorry about that, ive got no idea, have u lowered the seat already??
im only 6'1", i dont seem to have any problems with head room, my dads 6'3"(used to be, cos hes old his shrinking) he dont have no probs, u know, its just an idea, but u might think about sitting a lil more laid back, thats how we get away from roof, just move ya seat back a bit, put the seat at a bit more of an angle, and, against everything the "experts" tell you, slouch, u shouldnt have a problem.
anyway, enough s**t from me, im going now |

I've got an EL Ghia with an aftermarket sunroof fitted - I'm about 5'10/11" and I can see someone who is over 6' tall would easily have problems - tilting the seat back further back is an option...although the 'fully sik' factor does come into it...also not very good posture as it has been mentioned hehe.
My advice - check the roof lining that it isn't sagging  |

Hey guys,
I've got an EF II fairmont with the roof fitted, so mines an inch or two lower than normal as well - problem with my seat is that one of the mounts seems to have broken.. so if I wind the front bit of the seat up... the back part falls down. Are the seat pans for these easy to come by, or am I looking at a whole new seat? :S |
