  • Any tall people have trouble with their knee and the turn signal?

    Driving a 92 the other day and I could not signal left because of where my knee and the turn signal stalk meet. I never had this problem on my 87 or 93. The only difference is this is not a tilt wheel and those were. I can't see any way to adjust the seats any more to get more clearance either. I guess I need to swap columns, but curious of anyone else experienced this?

    My head hits the headliner if I sit with my seat upright. I ride partial gangsta because of this. Get a larger vehicle, yeti.

        The turn signal lever in my '03 hits my left knee if I'm signaling a left turn.

          Buy a truck or an SUV?

              There are no tall people here. We're a bunch of oompa loompas.

                Use hand/arm signals instead.

                  I never fit right in my old BMW. I always had to rest my knee against the door. It had the panoramic sunroof, so I had to sit lower and more reclined. I ended up trading it for the F-150. Frankly I'm super happy I did. Big Hurd gave me a decent deal on the BMW and a really good deal on the truck. It fits me perfectly. Heck, all my friends tell me that I should have bought a truck years ago. I just look right in a pickup...

                  But dammit, I wan't a 'stang..

                      Move the seat back and down.

                        Thanks Capt Obvious. That is the only way I can drive any car.

                            6'3. Never had that problem in any car I've driven, although plenty have needed the seat to go back another inch or three.

                              I was jacking with the turn signal switch and noticed the column was a little loose. Also there is a plastic part of the dash where the column slides through that has been broken for a while but I never really new why. The column sits lower. I just found out why this car is different. A previous owner appears to have added some 1/2" spacers to the column mounts. It all makes sense now. It explains why the shroud around the column didn't seem to fit right either. Here I had done ground a 1/2" off the end of my turn signal stock in desperation, which turned out ok actually.
