Want to lower the driver's seat more?
This may be old news to many, but it made a huge difference in driving comfort:
How to Lower the driver's seat:
1. Raise the seat up all the way and move it all the way back.
2. Look for a nut on a threaded rod underneath the seat, towards the front, pretty close to the door-side edge. It should be a rounded-top 12mm.
3. Loosen that nut as far as you feel comfortable
4. Make sure that the washer behind the nut moves forward with the nut.
5. Enjoy your additional headroom.
By moving the nut all the way to the end of the rod, I only got 1/4"-1/2" of additional headroom, but I'll take everything that I can get (6'6" tall). I might loosen it a bit more or take out the thick rubber washer in a little while if I decide that I need more headroom still.

In my case I removed the steel washer and positioned the lock nut right at the end of the threaded rod. This lowered my seat by about 1/2" - 3/4" and gave me the room I needed.
