Hi @chimaeraThe seat is as low as it can go and I'm the recommended "3 fingers from the roof" high. I'm not overly tall (180-something) but long torso and neck means I'm always sitting tall. Not sure about the spec, it's a manual seat, has side airbag, no heating, no leather. Swapping out the seat is a bit of an extreme measure (as I'm not a mechanic), especially in the current state of things, so the chances of getting that done now are pretty low. @mrgfI don't think there is enough of the poles to extend easily, even if I did it won't help much as they the headrest is protruding too forward for my liking anyway. Ideally I'd like to get a compatable headrest with a "flatter" angle. The bellow pictures should help explain, red is the standard angle of the poles where blue would suit me much more. I've seen such in pics of some VW's but haven't been able to find if they are compatible or not.

Hi mrgf, that would be very bad if I was ever rear-ended. My sholders are above the seat edge, I would litterally snap my neck here :( I'll eventually find a flat headrest that fits

I ended up getting a back pillow, it helps with the slouching problem. Headreast still pokes the bottom of my skull though, just a bit less.

Hi, I took my Fabia Mk II for a trip over the weekend (6h drive altogether) and my lower back is killing me. I'm the guy that has to look down when sitting in the back seat as the roof is generaly too low for me 😞 I noticed the following: no lumbar support, upper seat pushing against sholders (not too bad, but not great), head rest too low and pushing forward way too much. Driving short distances (up to an hour at once) has been without (significant) issues so far. What are my options for seats? Currently looking at cushions as a short term fix, but would not be against swapping the seat out (airbag and all). The most comfortabale seat I've sat in would be the very flat bench like seat in a '96 Mazda B3000. Everything "sporty" seems to be made for people with a much shorter torso and neck then I have. Thanks
