Thanks for the photos. Most sport seats I've seen don't seem to rub. I can't figure out why mine does. And it's not just a little. I could totally jam the seats into the roll bar if I wanted to.

Not trying to be a smartazz here... in spite of it being 151 in the morning.

Are you 7 feet tall? That's the only reason I can imagine if your seats are rubbing like that. Well, that reason AND that likely... highly probable... highly suspect.. um, move the damn seat forward a bit. Wear shoes with smaller soles. Upon my third review of your photos... you're absent the honeycomb wind whateverthehells. That's what keeps me from reclining my seats so far back, and rubbing all over the bar. It's not a secret to me: Lean back too far... seats gunna rub. Don't have seat back so far, seat's not gonna rub. You might consider the latter.

Have you considered moving the seat forward a bit? Maybe less reclined? Not wearing shoes when driving, so save an inch? I bet that's the problem right there. Just thinking out loud.

OK, maybe a little smartazz.

Hey, Kettle Dude!

Woke at 130A, again. "Stay off the forum. Stay off the forum". I lasted until 430. All good.

Hope OP gets that seat thing figured out. Those seatbacks look gnarly.

Good luck, OP.
