Driver's seat track stop removal? 5th generation
My son is tall and even with the seat all the way back he could use a little more room. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the driver's seat stop in order to allow the seat to slide back another inch or two?
It has a manual seat adjustment, not electric.
thank you in advance

I just saw your new post; came back to this one & see that nobody answered it yet...
I'm only 6' and haven't done this, so take it with a grain of salt. If you remove the stops, then the seat would just fall out of the rear of the tracks and cause more problems than you want.
I think you'll have an easier time if you remove the seat together with tracks, from the floor mounting. Look for a way to bolt the tracks back down into a new position an inch or so towards the rear. You may have to fabricate some brackets or something like that.
Having said that, you also have to be aware of what that will do for the seatbelt position, etc. Also make the brackets strong because they will play into preventing injury in a crash.
