Default Seat Height

2016 F-Type V6 S

It seems the drivers seat does not go high enough. My wife, average height for a lady, cannot see out. But the seat does not seem to go as high as the passenger seat. Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated.

might be dysfunctional. I'm 5'9" and mine goes high enough to make my head hit the roof liner.

Maybe it's too far back and the back of the seat is touching the speaker cover, which stops the motor from raising the seat any further.
Try putting the seat a little further forward before you raise it, then set it back again.

My wife is 5'0" tall & had no issue during our R convertible or S coupe test drives.
