Liking my new ES300h a lot, however one thing that I wish is that the seat could go higher.

I have it already at the max setting possible, but it still is quite low compared to how high my 05 ES seat could go.

Anyone have any tricks or suggestions for how to raise my seating position, without the obvious, which is to get an ugly looking seat cushion to sit on top of? (which is not a good solution because then i'm sitting relatively high on the seat back which I don't think will be comfortable....)

thanks!

I have a new 350 and im a short guy..5-8.. and I dont even have it as high as it can go, so I cant answer unless the 300h wont go as high for some reason..

It's really just my issue, as I prefer a little more height on the seat so that I can have knees bent more and be up closer to the pedals. I have back pain if I am too low to the ground with legs straight. This generation of ES appears to have lower seats than in the past. I think it is the same for both ESh and ES350.

On doing some research, It does'nt seem possible to change the seat further without any major modification that would void the warranty and make seat and crash safety questionable..... So I will try some sort of wedge cushion to sit on and see how that works.....

We raised the seat tracks an inch or so on my Mom's car (Pontiac) by just
removing four (4) nuts (two at a time) and placing large washers on the bolts.
Plenty of thread length to secure them again. Be aware that that maneuver
did subtract the inch from Dad's headroom but you know "happy wife, happy life"
right?
