I'm 6'. I wonder if there is something going on with the track. I need to have a close look at it.
A friend is the same size and has the same problem with his car.

I'm 6 ft. tall and drive quite a few bench seat Novas [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] ...no problem here. Maybe the back/forth mechanism is hanging up and restricting full movement??

I installed a set of seat track extenders designed for a 1969 drivers bucket seat. I bought the pair of long brackets from Nitro Rat that sells on E-bay and the quality is first rate. The last time I had a bench seat car has been about 5 years ago but from what I remember I flipped the brackets upside down and I might of drilled two additional holes to make them work. These added 2 inches of leg room but it also raised the seat about a 1/2 of an inch.

Thanks - I need to give it a thorough look to see if anything is going on with it.

Just to be clear I drilled the holes in the brackets to make them work everything else was left untouched.
