How to adapt for taller drivers
Looking for a method to adapt driver's seat to accommodate taller drivers.
My son is 6'7" and he says he feels uncomfortable driving the RX and I know there used to be tracks installed to allow the seat to travel more to the rear of the vehicle.
Anyone know if this solution is currently available? If so, where?
Thanks in advance.

I seem to recall a post talking about installing 4 pieces of thick band iron or something. The pieces were a few inches long with a hole at each end. One end is bolted to the floor (as the seat was previously) and the other end (mounted to extend toward the rear of the vehicle) is bolted to the seat/track assembly using similarly-sized bolts with nuts. Fairly simple, and maybe not approved by NHTSA, but it would gain your son a precious few inches.
