Default R400h legroom - possible to add more?

Hi there

I have recently got hold of a R400h which im quite happy with. Problem is I am very tall (6'7) and am finding the legroom to be a bit tight. Infact I think there was more in the Mini Cooper I last had!!!

I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if its possible to unbolt the chair from the rails and move it back a bit and rescrew it on to give me an inch or 2 more comfort?

Thanks for your help in advance!

You know probably possible, but modifying the rails would probably be necessary.

Toyota/Lexus are not made for tall people. I am only 6'1" and my seat is moved almost all the way back. I only have about one extra inch of travel. So I imagine you are pretty cramped. I wouldn't want to drill new holes for the seat to mount too...I would see if they make extended rails or something like that. A custom shop that does conversion vans for handicapped people might be able to help you there.

I haven't ever used this product, but I remember seeing it a while back. I'm short, and so I have to need for more legroom. From what I understand, it just extends the rails.
