    Hey guys,

    New here, Just got a 2016 F12 with Carbon Bucket Seats.

    When im in the seat, i can see the two fenders but i cant see the hood. I can see the wipers and it looks like the wipers block the hood. Am i too short? (Im 5‘ 9“).

    What do you guys see when your in your seat? Can you see the hood?

    Thanks

    Edward

    I have the heated full electric leather seats and have it adjusted to where my head has about 1.0 inch of clearance. Fenders are the most prominent (which I adore) and can't say the wipers are ever distracting. I need the fully adjustable seats in any car so it can be adjusted to exactly what my body needs over time. Seats are important. Hope this helps.

    Post a picture of the side of the seat.
    1. Lifter- may need higher seat setting. If there is a lifter ( I do not remember if that was an option), you can adjust. I suspect your question means there is no lifter. The lifter is a leaver on the side.
    2. Ask your dealer ( or do it yourself)- there are three settings for height. You may be able to look and see which it is on. You may prefer the higher/highest setting.
    Let us know what works

    Unfortunately to raise the seat you need to make custom spacers:blocks to fit under the seat rails. Without the lifter there is no other way. There is no adjustment positions
