Can I make my driver's seat go back farther ('90 245), so I can stretch my legs a bit more? As is, my left knee is cramped next to the arm rest.

BTW, for a compromise solution on my '72 145 and on my '86 245 (both sold and missed), I took off the armrest and swapped in one of the hand grips (the ones above the doors for passengers to hold onto while your whip around corners and suchor to hang dry-cleaning on. The handle fit perfectly and worked great, and swapped back easy when it was time to sell. Be careful with the pop-off caps over the screws -- they can get brittle.

But with the power windows, that won't work on my '90 245.

If your windows are tinted, and you have a wagon (like me) you can use a clothes rack/bar that attaches to the o-heck handles, across the front two seats and put a sheet/blanket over it to act as a window shade when your sleeping in the back. PPPrrrivacy!!

There are holes for one more inch, but in every seat I've looked at, it is already in the furthest-back holes, as if that is default setting. You'd have to remove the seat and disassemble the track to move the bolt position if it was (you hope) found in the forward spot.

By the way, interesting comment about the handgrips. I installed the fourth grip for the driver (not to replace the armrest), and after 10K miles have yet to remember to use it. I grab it all the time just for a change of position or stretch, but not once used it to enter or exit the driver's position. That's lucky the hole pattern lined up to the armrest screws.

Let me know if you would like any detail on the seat mechanism; I have several in the house and a handy camera.
