Needless to say, I'm a bit on the tall side, 6'7". I went for a test drive and loved it, seemed to fit fine. BUT, my head was hitting the roof. It does on my current car too, but this seems about a inch shorter.

Does anyone know of any solid fixes for this? Someone was telling me they can do anything if you know where to look. He was mentioning maybe trimming the rails that the seats sit on, so they sit an inch lower.

After driving bulky GM sedans from age 17-25, I think it's time for something new, and love the G35's. I'm just worried the head clearance may start bothering me after the thrill of the new car is gone.

 

try this... https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...wer+coupe+seat

Oh yeah, next time you should try to search

***edit***
You should look into getting a coupe without a sunroof. The headroom goes from 37.9" to 39.2". Or you can just leave the sunroof open

 

Haircut?

Open the sunroof?

Just kidding around man - I don't know of any modifications you can do to the seats that will give more headroom.

I would be careful with seat modifications. They are integral with the vehicle's restraint system and could absolve the insurance company of liability should you get in an accident.

It's rare, but I've seen it happen. It is normally associated with seat swaps, but I could see it applying here.

You're a big ****! YIKES!

 

^^^ +1
The exact same post I was thinking of.
Did that mod myself. Now me noggin don't hit the headliner when I go over moderate dips in the road.

Paniller....you are tall at 6'7". Try a test drive without a sunroof. No sunroof = a taller headliner, more headroom over all.

The middle of my head used to hit right at the left open side of sunroof before seat mod. Always thought...dang, if only they made the sunroof wider, then all my head could fit in that open void.

-edit-
That mod btw, doesn't affect airbag operation or restraint system.

 

Wait for the convertible.

 

Didn't yo daddy thought you how to fix things

 

i was told by the dealer that all coupes brought to the us have sunroofs. So i assume thatd mean you wouldnt have one to test drive w.o a sun roof, but you sure can order one without it.

 

yeah i am 6 4'' and did the seat lowering mod...while it helped..it wasnt anything MAJOR. at least now when i go over small bump i dont hit. i realize i drive leaning slightly to the right so that my head fits in the sunroof opening lol. love the sun roof but may have not been the best choice...kinda have to slouch so I dont drive looking through the blue tint i'd say if you can do without it, dont get the sunroof!

 

Jigsaw + Roof= More headroom lol

 

6'7"
dam man

a modification is definately neccesary then

 

It helps me when I tilt the back of the seat to the rear slightly instead of keeping it in the fully upright position, but it's hard on the back during long trips.

 

Yeah, I caught myself doing that during the test drive. That's when I realized I liked the car a bit too much, and may be forcing things. lol. I'm a lanky bastard, mostly legs, so we're probably about the same.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, I've been looking. They just don't seem to make them without sunroofs. I also wanted all the toys and nav. According to the website, I need the sunroof selected to pick any of these items. I'll definitely keep an eye out, but this is month 3, and haven't even spotted one.

Damnit, the one time I didn't bother searching too. I thought for sure I'd be the first to ask this and didn't bother. Thanks man, this is why I came here

BTW, it was right on the top of a forum Newbie coming through, make way. Still learning to navigate these forums.

Yeah, but dad starts rambling about "war and tea." I think he's a bit too crazy to ask about this stuff.

 

You do have to get a sunroof if you want Nav and the Prem. Pkg.

It's a shame, as the added headroom makes a huge difference. I had to order my '05 to get a hardtop in the color I wanted (with 6MT). You might have to do the same, if it's that important to you.

Personally, after having to compromise my driving position to clear the roof in my last sunroof-equiped car, which led to back pain, the added headroom was one of the main reasons I ordered a hardtop coupe.

 

well..if that doesn't work then cut an inch off the bottom of your feet...

 

actually it would be an inch off your @ss.
