    Having a slight problem with the new GP , Im 6ft. and all must be in my upper body i.e ( I have a 28 inch inseem.lol) Is there any way without taking the seat apart and refoaming the seat coushin can I get some more head room without having to hangout in the sunroof hole.lol Its an 04 GP GT1 with cloths power seats, would the leather sit lower in the car or can i know the brackets down, does anyone else have this issue? I drove my buddy 99 gtp knowing its a completely different car no head room issues?

    It is that easy. On the power seats the seat bottom lowers with the button.

    What the guys above suggested is correct.
    I had the same issue when i test drove my car, but i lowered all the way and tilted my seat slightly.
    If that doesn't work unbolt and put in a lawn chair. Call it weight reduction.
