Default Anyone Lowered The Driver's Seat?

I test drove a GT conv last week and absolutely loved the car with one exception, I am 6'4" and my eyes are at the same height as the sun visor. This causes me to hunch down to lower my eyes so I can see stoplights etc. It wasn't noticeable at first but after a 15 min test drive my neck was straining.

2 questions:

- Is anyone else having this problem?
- If so, is there a way to lower the drivers seat? The dealer I am working with won't do it, say they can't alter the vehicle like that for liability reasons.

I looked all over the web and found plenty of people who would sell me a new seat that was lower but then it wouldn't match the original seats.

Oh yea, the seat I was in had the electric seat height adjustment and I had the seat lowered all the way down

I'm 6'6" and just moved the seat back about 1 1/2 inch, haven't figured out how to lower it, there's a support that runs all the way across the car and i didn't have the time to check it out a lot. But moving it back did help quite a bit.

I know I would like to sit lower. The "stilts" the seat is on are like 6 " high. That's kinda bugged me too. Sorry don't know what to do about it. It would be nice to get a couple more pumps lower with the seat height.
