    Ok this drivers seat is starting to bother me!! Has anyone considered shaving the seat cushion a few inches? Rather than manipulating the bolts and messing with the tracks? I just thought this might help the taller drivers....

    I haven't considered it (don't need to because I'm short). But if you're going to try it you'll have to partially disassemble and reassemble the seat, which requires more than a bit of work. Probably a job best left for a professional auto upholsterer, who would also cut the foam for you. In this regard, I would wonder whether enough foam can be cut off from the bottom for your tastes. In any event, here are the Prius Seat Assembly / Disassembly instructions:

    Good luck.

    Just adjust it up or down with the lever on the right side of the seat.
    Oh I forgot that isn't on North American Prius.
