What can be done to help a tall driver fit?

[evanfrazier at gmail.com (Evan Oliver Frazier)]

I mean, I drove the car and really enjoyed it - so it is workable in  
stock form.  As for the sunroof.  Maybe you're right - instead of  
lower seats maybe I should go higher! :-) I can just see myself with  
a phonebook on the seat and my head out the sunroof - sortof a Shaq  
look.  Would Corrado seats bolt into the stock seat rails on the Mk2  
16v?

Welcome as well. I have the same problem (6'3" here) and found, much
like Jim implies, that the ones without a sunroof have better
headroom. I've owned both. Corrado seats are supposed to help as well.
Me? I slouched and got used to the headliner mussing my hair.
