Hello,
I have an 87 with a sunroof and I am 6'3. My car had a power driver's seat and this raises the seat approximately one inch higher than the passenger seat. Here is what I did:

I ditched the driver's power seat and one inch high spacers on the passenger seat. I moved most of the hardware on the passenger seat (such as seat belt stuff) to the opposite side and made the passenger seat my driver's seat. Then I picked up another almost perfect passenger seat to be my new passenger seat. I was recovering the seats, so color did not matter.

I picked up a little over an inch of height, lost a bunch of useless weight--the driver's power seat is a boat anchor, and made my car more utilitarian and nimble. All of this was done without taking some drastic method like cutting the seat rails or taking out the sunroof. I think it is the perfect solution.

Cordially,

Greg
