sorry it's proton wira 1.3

the most economical way... put extra sponge inside the seat cover

i think the original proton seat has a lever at the side of the seat (near the adjuster to go front and back), which allows u to make the seat higher or lower.

if not enough, i think u can bring it to the nearest seat shop and tell them your problem. sure they can rectify it for u.

if i change to bucket seat or whatever new seat, can it be set or installed to be higher?

 

[arrowhead]

of course it can, but bucket seat should give u lower sitting position... so u have to ask the shop first, and tell them what u want.

std seat can be raised quite high....

open door...look at the most foward lever (paling depan)

turn the lever counter clockwise until the lever pointing around "11 o'clock" direction...(pusing lever sampai arah jam pukul 11) thats the limit...

if still not enough then put pillow oso can....my ladyboss quite short drive myvi without problem with help of the pillow.....

if not u could go to any seat shop or try SSCUS shop, they will fabricate a square metal rod to put below yr seat railings.....then use longer screws to bolt yr seats....

i did that to my sscus seats....

eh bro, me not sure. dont take my word for granted. we'll wait for civicfreak to get back to us. lol

 

[DanzEterna]

bro, my mom had the same problem.
wat we did, unscrewed the seat and put some washers in between the "tapak" and "tapak" seat. if ur screw is long enough.. u dont need to find new one.

hope it helps.

i'm back. no my wira doesnt have that lever. so i should add that rod thing under my seat instead of changing to new seat?

 

[me2kimi]

Just put a big nut underneath the tapak seat. If screw not long enough, find screw that will fit

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

ok..u can add washer at the tapak screw...

but only a few mm increase...coz front stud is shot....i think the max u can add is around 10mm...if u need more then maybe u can swap for seat with that lever.....
