Ihbond Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi folks; First time poster and just bought a new 2016 Ford Edge with 10way power seat. Took it for e test ride for about 20 minutes and was OK. I drive an hour to work each way and the pain has gotten worse sitting in the car the rails don't go back far enough and a seat for me is hurting I'm 6'1 280 pounds. Anybody in this community knows of a way to move the seat back a couple of inches or if other people are experiencing seat pain, and what other mods I might look into..

As the previous poster had not been able to find anything. If anyone has any new info would like to hear it ' Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The company that makes kits to extend the rails for car seating states they don't make rails for the Edge. You would also run into problems with seat beats, air bag safety (sitting back too far would throw off the timing of when and how much force was exerted during deployment). About the only thing you can do is tilt the seat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihbond Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think you bring some sound advice about the engineering and placement of the seat..thanks I will work with my upholstery guy and see if he can raise the bottom pad about 1/2 nice to alleviate the side seat bumpers from compressing into my buttocks..

omar302 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just in case you did not notice, lowering the seat bottom also pushes it back a little. What I mean, the seat up/down movement is not straight, it is tilted. So lowering the seat would give a little more leg room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
