I get pain in the right of my right knee rubbing against that stupid pillar.

I bought one of these a month ago and it works wonders

Outside of BT, its probably the best mod I've gotten for the car!

Once you find the perfect postion for your seat, remember on long motors, if you do a one click adjustment up/down, forward/aft, it will help, to relieve fatigue.
Or stop, and walk a few minutes.

From: Atlanta, GA
I have scoliosis and have noticed that my back hurts more after sitting in Atlanta gridlock to and from work. For short trips, it's not an issue. Also, I am a "leaner", I tend to lean towards the right when I drive and since I have the sport seats, the inward curve of the seat ends up poking me in the back. Coming from an X-Terra to the MINI, I had had to make some adjustments. Am preparing to drive from Atlanta to Indiana in October, so we will see how it goes.
