Perhaps a more technically aware member could advise me:
Car is a 2006 W209 coupe, newly acquired. Wife is complaining that the passenger seat (Manual, only driver side is electric) is too low.
I see the seat runners are fastened to the floor with 4x M10x28 bolts. Can I get a height increase by simply placing 9.5mm spacers between the runners and the floor, then using 40mm bolts? Or have I missed some safety issue here?
I know I would have to check clearance to the headlining when moving the seatback forwards.
PS Does anyone know the seat bolt torque setting?
