[QUOTE="Guesstimator, post: 152343, member: 239"] HI! thanks for the guide and pics but i don't understand this passage: I pushed the bolts back as far as they would go to achieve this. I've giving this a go but i have found that there is a height difference of 7mm between the inside (tunnel side 21mm) and outside (door side 14 mm) original Renault spacers. So to keep the seat "level" , it is the washer on the door side that determines the maximum height change. I have found that if you go less than 4mm thickness in washers on the door side then the adjustment mechanism locks and does not allow the seat to slide as forward as it should as it hits the cross member (i'm not very tall :-)) So as far as i can tell the maximum height reduction is 10mm (14-4) using 4 mm washer stack on the door side and a 11mm washer stack on the tunnel side. Anybody else found this or is there something odd with my car? how can you achieve 15mm???!?!?!? [/QUOTE]
