Can I get more head room?

Man, I thought it was just me, but I have the same complaint.

I am 6'2", and although most of my height is in my legs, I feel like I am sitting on a damned phone book in the leathet seats in my 02!!

I had an 03 Taurus for 2 days while my GT was in the shop (getting the TQ replaced!), and when I got the GT back yesterday, I spent like 5 minutes thinking: they must have jacked my seat all the way up, how the hell do I get it back down! I thought maybe I missed something on the controls, but nope, it was down all the way. The Taurus had a lower seat than the Mustang!

I can see the end of my hood, no problem. I used to tease my Dad for jacking his seat all the way up in his Benz........now I feel like I am doing the same thing!! OH NOOOO, I'M MY DAD!!!.....lol

Thanks for the help. I guess it is time to ditch the power controls & get some manual tracks.
JCKnife- That would be too easy, & besides I do not want to add a roll cage in order to keep a vert from twisting. I'll stay with the manual seat tracks & my hard top. I'm not bashing, verts look sweet, they're just not for me. On the other hand, you are up north, a vert in Texas & you can feel as if you are being cooked alive!!!

Did you ever try the manual seat tracks?

BTW, how in the world do you tall guys put up with the rear view mirror? Mine's AT eye level, which SUX! Isn't it BELOW your eye level?

when i bought my 01 a couple weeks ago, i was like... how the heck do people see out of the front glass with that mirror in the way???

took me a day, but you can actually push it all the way to the top, then angle the actual mirror part down to use it. raises it like 3 inches (two pivots on it). i was like... DUH!

Hey, thanks, I'll try that in the morning!

Now about those manual seat tracks... Anybody actually do it with stock seats?

Tried the mirror adjustment, helped out a lot. Thanks!
Now if I could just find a set of manual tracks.

Buy a convertible like I did, cheap mod, only like $3,500 extra smacks!

I'm 6'5", I bought the KB extenders, and when I removed the seat to install them I noticed that the back mounts on the seat are little towers. I cut those off and welded the KB extenders to the seat rails (no little towers). This was enough for me, hope it helps.
