Default Re: Raising the seat for free

Had a chance to look at a stripped out coupe while on the coast today and all I can say is that I can see no earthy reason
why the crossmember behind the seat is so high: is just stamped, hollow, and not in compression (does not even go all the way to the side, is about a 4x4" block of foam on the side. - see picture).

Can anyone think of any reason why the top section is even there ? Looks like I can just remove the top cover and fold the carpet down, take a Sawzall, and chop out a section behind the seat as shown in the picture, and get a good inch more travel with the seat reclined as I like it.

ps the gas tank is about 4" under that.
