I think I already know the answer to this (no) but.....

I'd like to move the driver's seat back about an inch. I've always felt a little leg-cramped, even with the seat as far back as it goes.

Anyone know if I can mod the seat to move back a little further without relocating the entire mount?

Tats the reason i got an Alero and not a Cavs tho.. for the room. I think there is enough.

I'm ~6'1" or 6'2" and with the seat all the way back it's a pretty perfect fit :P

The ergonomics arent the greatest though, I never feel quite "on-center" with the wheel and/or the pedals, and no amount of seat movement will fix that. Also, I don't have a manual but I imagine some people on here must get frustrated at the space in between the brake and gas pedal, it must be impossible to heal and toe :rolleyes:

I'm 6'7 - 6'8, so stop your whining :P

Yeah, i'd like to move my seat back too, but the problem is the wheel starts to get pretty far away. I wish our cars had telescopic steering.

And Final, the distance between the gas brake is actually perfect, because I have wide feet so I can catch the brake with one side of my foot and the gas with the other side (I put racing pedals on too so that the gas is a bit wider for this).

haha, just move your seat forward with the standard lever (or power if you have it) there's no way you're too short for that. :thumbsup:

yeah but it's aggravating having to re-adjust the seat all the time.
