I'm 6'1 and have less than a 1/2 inch between my knees and the front dash of my 2003 H2. I've called the dealer and he said they didn't have a fix to move the seat further back. I wanted to purchase new rails, or extended rails to accommodate my legs. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I was in a new Nissan Altima yesterday and my legs were fully extended when the seat was all the way back. Again, I'm only 6'1". Others must have the same problem.

I'm 6'2" 215lbs and I've got tons of room. Are you long-legged or are you super bottom heavy and being pushed further forward because of a mountainous behind?

I'm 6'1 180lbs. When I sit my legs are at a 90 degree angle when touching the pedals. GM recognizes this problem and has installed seats in the 2004 model that go back 3 inches further. Your Dry Humor exploits your ignorance "GURU"

It's not dry, it's moist. Too bad you were born without a sense of humor. Out of curiosity why did you capitalize the first letters in "Your Dry Humor"?

You can't swap for the 2004 seats? Or do you have a 2004 and it's still not enough?

Oh, and:

I'm a big guy and have no problems with leg room in my '03. Are you sure about your claim that the '04 goes back 3 inches further?

Somebody, I do not remember who, relocated their seat tracks 3" back on their '03. Said it was very simple. BTW, I am about 6'4", 240lbs and have no problems with the seat reclined a bit.

My problem is my seat won't move up far enough! Im 5'3" and 137 lbs, I have had trouble twice in a "panic stop" situation. What a crappy design .

Oh and BTW Craig, I agree DRTY is very, very insensitive, mean and unpleasant.

I can't believe you said that about Drty! I have it on good authority that Drty had professional instruction on proper manners and etiquette.

Here's a picture of Drty's instructor!

I have to admit, Drty still has my vote for the most humorous post:

http://elcova.com/groupee/forums?a=tpc&s=2826088551&f=5106011751&m=432604484 5&r=5966051845#5966051845

In reference to JeepChick:

I still laugh over that one!

I don't thinks its a leg room problem more then its a sitting comfortable problem. when I test drove the first H2, I had no head room and was forced to slouch, it was very uncomfortable , and I oppted to lean the seat way back. I cured this problem by purchasing a new H2, without sunroof! now I have plenty of room, I do hit my knee from time to time on the shifter(in park).
I will say I cannot drive a Viper for a simular reason, I can get in, I can push the clutch in, but I cannot close the door and release the clutch... bummer. being 6'5"/350lbs sucks sometimes.
