Question passenger side leg room (lack of)

Hi all,

Love my 2008 Civic LXE but my wife feels very cramped in the passenger seat because of the shortened leg room on her side.
Is there any way to install longer seat rails or alternatively move the existing rails back 1-2 "?
Has anybody any information on this?
Grateful for any answers,

Hal

How tall is your wife? Most women have their seat all the way forward.

I don't think there is any good way to move the seat back without major surgery.

She is a tall woman and has the seat all the way against the rear stop. On longer trips especially, she has problems with not being able to stretch her legs enough.

Gotta grab an old school ED man! My roommate was 6'7 and loved my car both riding and driving. Maybe rockin the gangster lean with the seat tilted back a bit might help? Is the LXE the four-door?

My wife has an 07 EX coupe and I'm 6'0 tall, and I have plenty of leg room on the passenger side.
