Default Driver seat height - can it be extended?

Hi - my old man has a 1999 V40 2.0 petrol (non-turbo). The trim is base, the car has the sports pack (alloys).

My Dad is getting rather short with old age. He can no longer see clearly over the steering wheel, the driver seat is up to the top level already.

Is there an option to extend the height of the seat?

All reasonable options considered! He will have to sell the car soon if I can't find a fix.

Cheers

I think if you search the forum you should find that you can adjust the seats fixed height. Have a look at this

I seem to remember seeing a thread with photos of the seat frame, showing the bolt hole arrangement. It might be on a guide to do with the addition of electrically heated seat elements/pads.

Hi - thanks but the comments I'm seeing relate to the passenger seat. I'm interested in the drivers seat.

Grateful if you can direct me to help
