Pmeek Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Anyone know if it’s possible to tilt the driver seat downward? The auto-seat rises but my short legs need it titled downward. I have a Ford Edge SEL Ecoboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetjq Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 PM, I don't think you can tilt it downward (higher at the back, lower in front if I'm understanding you correctly) but you 'can' lower it and lower the steering wheel. While the column is unlocked, push the wheel forward as far as it'll go then power the seat forward. Adjust the seat and steering wheel as necessary. Give it a try!

omar302 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) The seat bottom controller can be used to raise/lower the whole seat or raise/lower the front part only. Try lowering the front part only by adjusting the front edge of the controller. Also if you have the 10-way seats you can raise the back part of the seat.

Pmeek Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Only way I could describe my predicament is the attached photo. The way they’re sunken down into the seat with edge of seat pressing up into legs and because I’m so short, I have to press downwards onto gas/break (imagine pedals under their feet?). If I lower the seat all the way down, the front edge of seat really pushes into my thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If seat and steering wheel adjustments can't fix the problem let me suggest a trip to an upholstery shop. They can work wonders. They'll listen to your concerns, maybe take some measurements remove your seat, pull the cover off and carve the foam to custom fit you. If you don't know where to find a really good custom upholster shop stop by a car show or two and ask owners where they had their interior work done.

Pmeek Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I never would have thought of that. My seat are heated leather seats, so I wonder if it’s possible. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetjq Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Give the upholsterer a heads up beforehand to be sure but it shouldn't be an issue. After the work is done make sure the heating/cooling work properly while you're still there. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
