Hi all,

So back when I restored the GN I bought new foams from NOS4GN. They are higher density than the OEM stuff. Although I feel way better sitting on them support wise, I sit too high. Has anyone tried to deal with this by shaving some material off the bottom? I may take a crack at this at some point and wanted to know if anyone else had success. Thanks!
 
Mine sits a little higher.Do you have a power seat?If not that might be the reason for yours sitting too high.Just pull the t tops out and let your head stick out the roof:cool: till you get that seat broke in.
 
The bottom of the seat rides on steel wires suspended from the edges of the outer frame. You could drop the edges a bit if you were creative with some large hog rings.
 
Maybe a shop specializing in automotive re-upholstery could cut out a layer of the seat cushion foam in question & replace it with a lower density foam ? :unsure:
