Seat adjustment??

Hi all,

My wife constantly complains about the driving position in the X5, because she's only 5' 4" she finds it hard to see, obviously this isn't a major issue just feels like the seat should go higher, in our old Mercedes ML she was comfortable but not so in the X5, I wanted to know if you guys had any tips or ideas for raising the seat without the need for a cushion, we have the sports seats btw

Thanks

My wife is 5-2 on a good day, but most days 5-1... She hasn't complained to me. Might be easier to upgrade the wife, than the seat? 0_o

It does move but she finds that the seat is too low for her, does anybody know a way of moving it up higher an inch or so??

The mechanism that moves the seat forward also moves the seat up. Try pulling up when moving forward. I will also tilt the seat at an angle to give more rise you can then set the seat back with the other switch. At least that's how they work with the M Comfort seat.
