Need more leg room in my s40

Al1baly · May 6th, 2016, 20:58

Hi, I drove a different car yesterday and it brought home to me that the drivers seat in my 2012 s40 rdesign could ideally be about an inch further back to give me more leg room. I have the seat all the way back and all the way down.
Is it possible to change the mountings in any simple way to give me more leg room? Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks.

I assume that there are no tall s40 drivers as no one has commented. I'll just need to make do with what I have and
it is a very comfortable place to be.

Not sure if the s40 is different to the 2015 v40, but i found that okay to fit in once i put the seat back and raised the steering rack, im 6"4.

haha must definitely be around that ... my seat goes pretty far back so I think the only other advise that could be given is to remove the front seat and sit on the rear seat
