To all those with Tech or Convenience packs,

I am still not 100% sure if I found all the levers on how to adjust the height of the driver leather seat.

I am not super tall but in the Shelby I am always super close to hitting underneath the wheel with my knee. And i can't just lower the seat any further

I am driving several cars, currently a BMW 4 series rental and non of them even comes close to hitting anything.

Are you having the same issue? Am I missing a hidden height adjustment? ;-)

Many thanks in advance.

Do you mean the steering wheel hits your legs? If so the steering column tilts as well. That can't be the issue can it?

Steering column, thanks, that was the word I was looking for.
I bring the wheel as close to the driver and completely up. Can't do more on the steering wheel side. In maybe fifty cars I have driven, the Shelby is the only one where it gets tight ;-). E.g Seats in a camaro went much lower

Doesn't really bother me but I know what you mean...

there isn't much clearance between your legs and the bottom of the steering wheel. Even with the seat all the way down. When I get in and out my legs usually brush the bottom of the steering wheel.

I have a convenience pack and never noticed this issue -- and, being un-tall, I have the seats up, not down.

I was either hitting the wheel or rubbing tge seat bolster to get in and out.

I moved the seat slightly to the rear to give me more entrace and exit space.

I guess I'm just the opposite. I'm just under six foot and love my seats. Very comfortable and no problem with steering wheel.

The 2005+ Mustangs have had very little upward movement for the steering column/wheel and sadly that continues with the S550.

I'm 6'1" with a Convenience Pack car and have no issues?

AFAICT, there's plenty of adjustment in the steering column. I don't understand what your problem could be.
