I feel your pain, literally every time I get into the 4RX. It's not more than once, it's every time. Much like watching a police video of loading someone into the rear seat of a cop car, I bang my head or pull my head down to get in the car.

The issue is compounded by having to reach over and drag my left leg into the car, since I'm impaired on the left side

I'm getting older causing some of the problem, but I think something was redesigned making entry into the 4RX different than the 3RX. I'm sure it's comical to watch as I put right leg and butt into car, slide slightly back out of the car, duck head in, slide right, reach to the left with both arms and pull my left leg up over the door sill every time I get in.

Glad I am not the only one who has this problem. I tried it today. With my original seat height, there is no way I could enter the RX without hitting my head if I did not bend down. I lowered the seat to minimum and pulled the seat back up a little. I will see how it feels in the long run.

Easy Exit. I hate that feature and have it turned off.
