Hello:

My wife is short (4'11") and she is unable to move the manual seat on the S80 forward enough to reach the pedals. I am looking at the following possibilities, and would like your advice:

1. Move the seat rail forward? How hard is this to get done? I understand the air bag risks - will need to get an air bag kill switch installed too!

2. She has no problem with a power seat version of 850 we have. How hard is it to replace the manual seat with a power one from a salvage yard? Is the wiring in place? ANy problems with doing this?

3. Pedal Extenders- Is anyone here aware of a source for pedal extenders that would work on an S80, and that would be quickly removable, so I can drive too!!

4. Ask my wife to get taller real soon ):

Any help would be appreciated.

Ramesh
