I very much doubt you would be able lower a standard seat but u may be able to get an aftermarket seat (maybe racing) that will be lower but u could alos loose some comfort with that too

yeah, well, this is kinda i stupid idea, and kinda illegal, unless ur smart!!!
ok, take the seat out, and put one them bean bags in there, now cos ur supposed to have a head restaraint (head rest), just put the current one on a pieca wood, and bolt it on from the rear tray!!, hehe. yeah,sorry about that, ive got no idea, have u lowered the seat already?? im only 6'1", i dont seem to have any problems with head room, my dads 6'3"(used to be, cos hes old his shrinking) he dont have no probs, u know, its just an idea, but u might think about sitting a lil more laid back, thats how we get away from roof, just move ya seat back a bit, put the seat at a bit more of an angle, and, against everything the "experts" tell you, slouch, u shouldnt have a problem. anyway, enough s**t from me, im going now

I've got an EL Ghia with an aftermarket sunroof fitted - I'm about 5'10/11" and I can see someone who is over 6' tall would easily have problems - tilting the seat back further back is an option...although the 'fully sik' factor does come into it...also not very good posture as it has been mentioned hehe.
My advice - check the roof lining that it isn't sagging

Hey guys,
I've got an EF II fairmont with the roof fitted, so mines an inch or two lower than normal as well - problem with my seat is that one of the mounts seems to have broken.. so if I wind the front bit of the seat up... the back part falls down. Are the seat pans for these easy to come by, or am I looking at a whole new seat? :S
