I'm 6'1 and have less than a 1/2 inch between my knees and the front dash of my 2003 H2. I've called the dealer and he said they didn't have a fix to move the seat further back. I wanted to purchase new rails, or extended rails to accommodate my legs. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I was in a new Nissan Altima yesterday and my legs were fully extended when the seat was all the way back. Again, I'm only 6'1". Others must have the same problem.

I'm 6'2" 215lbs and I've got tons of room. Are you long-legged or are you super bottom heavy and being pushed further forward because of a mountainous behind?

CraigFRNJ 06-21-2004 03:17 PM

I'm 6'1 180lbs. When I sit my legs are at a 90 degree angle when touching the pedals. GM recognizes this problem and has installed seats in the 2004 model that go back 3 inches further. Your Dry Humor exploits your ignorance "GURU"

I'm 6'5" tall and have plenty of leg room in my 2003.

It's not dry, it's moist. Too bad you were born without a sense of humor. Out of curiosity why did you capitalize the first letters in "Your Dry Humor"?

You can't swap for the 2004 seats? Or do you have a 2004 and it's still not enough?

Oh, and:

I'm a big guy and have no problems with leg room in my '03. Are you sure about your claim that the '04 goes back 3 inches further?

JamesT 06-21-2004 08:02 PM

I'm 6'4" and my knees touch my chin(s). Im glad the new guy brought this up. These seats are way to close to the dash. BTW....what are those buttons on the side of the seat for anyway? Anyone??? Anyone???

JamesT 06-21-2004 08:04 PM

Why are all the NEWBIES so thin skinned now? Back when I was a NEWBIE I never cried when I got slam dunked by DRTY.

KenP 06-21-2004 09:45 PM

Somebody, I do not remember who, relocated their seat tracks 3" back on their '03. Said it was very simple. BTW, I am about 6'4", 240lbs and have no problems with the seat reclined a bit.

Kevin B 06-21-2004 10:29 PM

My problem is my seat won't move up far enough! Im 5'3" and 137 lbs, I have had trouble twice in a "panic stop" situation. What a crappy design .

Oh and BTW Craig, I agree DRTY is very, very insensitive, mean and unpleasant.

I can't believe you said that about Drty! I have it on good authority that Drty had professional instruction on proper manners and etiquette.

Here's a picture of Drty's instructor!

Kevin B 06-21-2004 11:00 PM

Klaus,

Dont make me post DRTY's picture



You know the one I mean too!

I have to admit, Drty still has my vote for the most humorous post:

In reference to JeepChick:

Great... then we can witness her awesome hunger. You know if she does show up we'll have to hang our food up in the trees. I bet she'd give a camp-raiding bear a run for it's money. I wonder if we can teach her to do tricks like shut up if we use beef jerky?

I still laugh over that one!

I don't thinks its a leg room problem more then its a sitting comfortable problem. when I test drove the first H2, I had no head room and was forced to slouch, it was very uncomfortable , and I oppted to lean the seat way back. I cured this problem by purchasing a new H2, without sunroof! now I have plenty of room, I do hit my knee from time to time on the shifter(in park).
I will say I cannot drive a Viper for a simular reason, I can get in, I can push the clutch in, but I cannot close the door and release the clutch... bummer. being 6'5"/350lbs sucks sometimes.
