Since October 2012 I've had terrible back pain... I blamed it on bad posture at work and moving large bits of furniture around the house but in October 2012 something else happened... I bought my CSL.

Thank you for this thread... my seats were too low.

I got my seats out today, adjusted them then went out for drive... so far my back feels bit better. Next week I have my usual 250 miles for the week.. so I will know for sure. My back was so bad that I have been walking around like hunchback.

Anyway, enough of my problems... photos to go with the words on this brilliant thread...

Very helpful ThrasherMax . A picture paints a thousand words as they say. Any pictures of the bolts that need to be undone and done up to make the seat adjustment?

I have no intention of adjusting mine but always helpful if I do and more importantly, for everyone else.

It's the last two pictures that show the bolts to change the seat height. You can see the three possible positions.

Since, changing I have done 150 miles, including trips to Heathrow from Horsham... back is 100% fine!

I need to resurrect this thread, because i've got the same question..
Didn't take a closer at the seats yet, but i am curious to know in which position they currently are in if its possible without removing them. Not desperate to take them out, if its not necessary.

I am a bit late to the party however that be, thanks for the pictures thrashermax.

Default Can't reach the top hole in the back

Hey guys, greetings from bavaria the home of our babys,


Am i doing something wrong? Using the method that was posted here, everything fine. Didn't get an airbag light or anything. But i only could raise the rear to the middle position. The steelcable of the tilt release thing isn't long enough. I would love to sit a little more upright, i'm a big fella and would love to better reach the steering wheel.

Cheers
Alex

Did mine today. Lowest on the back and middle on the front. A friend on this forum also told me the lumbar cushion could be adjusted. So did that too. Much better although I might bulk out the lumbar a bit more. I have found that these kind of seats (I had a 987 Spyder before this), offer little/no lumbar support, so you end up slouching into the seat. This gives me neck ache. Getting older I guess;-)

Cheers.

Been meaning to do mine for.....years. Decided to bite the bullet today. Seat out no problem, grommet screw & trim off no problem, changed seat height to lowest rear, middle front (the passenger side has been like that since I bought & driver side was set to highest rear & highest front). Right then, reassembly should be the easy bit.....this is where I hit a problem. With the lowered seat position, the gap between the seat cover & part of the tilt componentry was significantly smaller & I could not for the life of me get the seat trim back on. After many, many attempts & a lot of swearing, I gave up & called a coach trimmer (one of the last genuine & quality coach trimmers in Scotland) who happens to stay nearby. He got it back on whilst I nipped back to the house for the trim bolts I'd accidentally left there - 'tricks of the trade' he said so I have no idea how he managed it. Ah well, seating position much better now & should never need adjusted again!
