I am looking for a way to raise the lip of the passenger side seat to give more thigh support. My Limited Roadster has the 6 way electric seats with the driver's side that will rock up and down, while the passenger is only 4 way, and will only move forward and backward and the seat back adjusts.
Anyone ever try to put a 6 way motor on the passenger side or otherwise modify it to raise up the front part of the seat. I checked other threads and came up empty. Any help would be appreciated as my passenger always feels like the seat is too straight forward and that she feels like she is slipping out of the seat.
Even if the seat back is inclined back you do feel like there is very little thigh support.

 

look under the seat and see if you can build it up with a slanted shim on the front bolts. That should work

 

Yep, just 4 bolts and a wiring harness holding the seat in. It should be pretty easy to put a shim in place to create a slight tilt. I took the passenger seat out the last time I went to the track for weight savings. I was able to remove it in just a couple minutes.

 

yeah, like B said, the only issue would be how long the OEM bolts are, and I'll leave it to him as he's taken out the seats, to ensure that there is enough bolt after the shim is in. May need to head down to the store and get two new Grade 8 bolts to account for the shim, and don't short sheet yourself here on that. You don't want the bolt to shear as a result of not having enough thread in the hole. But that's a really easy fix. i just built saddlebag mounts for my motorcycle out of corner brackets and mending plates, painted them black and hung the bags on them and they look great. Serves the purpose for under 20 bucks for both sides. I so appreciated the local Ace hardware store for their ease of bolt selection.

 

As usual there is always someone on this forum that has the answer. Going to the Bolt Store.
Really appreciate all your help and it should keep the other half happy. We all know how important that is.
Thanks again.
Will post on how it turns out.

 

This is an inexpensive solution to the passenger seat problem. There are many models to chose from. it worked for my wife, especially on long trips.

Lot of hair driers in my part of the world, but the thought had occured to me

 

My '06 Roadster has 6-way on both sides! I wonder why the difference.
