I was even able to move the back of the seat forward once this was done. All in all, its minor but so far it seems to fix my height issue. I went from looking out the top of the windshield to looking more out the center, which is a big help on my neck.

If you didnt know any different you cant even tell.

I see out of the middle of the windshield, not the roof, i no longer hit my head/hair, can close the sunroof and NOT hit it. Im so happy i was able to do this and i took plenty of pics for everyone.

Seat removed



Friend grinding the edges of the brackets




You can see our cuts on the lower bend here



Hit it with a hammer to flatten it out, can also see our second cuts on the outer most bend on the closer bracket. Farther bracket is flattened as well.




Test fit to make sure thats enough

left is original, right is the one we cut and bent (huge difference)



Little welding to sturdy the brackets and make it right, also welded the top cuts after picture.




Bore out the mount holes a little and tape up the side panel to trim. Used washers on the seat bolts to cover the bigger bore.



I taped and then cut the side panel with the dremel and a disk.



Closer look at the bracket now





Installed, you can see where i cut a little too much off. I also sanded down the burs/edges from the dremel cut. The picture makes the edge looks a lot more noticeable.
