Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Aug 10, 2006 8:11 pm) I dunno...sounds like an okay idea to me. There's plenty of headroom in an xB, and it has a tilt wheel to give you knee room if you lift the seat an inch...so this might work. Raising the seat is a piece of cake compared to trying to move it back anymore. You could always just sit on a 1" piece of foam and see how it all works before you do anything.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 11, 2006 6:59 am) It is only possible to raise the front of the seat, and 1/2 inch is about the limit. Raising the rear of the seat would require raising the right floor mount and relocating the two holes in the left tunnel mount. No one has re-fabricated the seat mounts to this extent yet. Raising the front of the seat only requires inserting washers, but this rotates the seat slightly and the rear bolt in the left rear mount won't go in if the front is raised more than 1/2 inch. Also, it is hard to get a 1/2 inch stack of washers aligned, and even harder to get longer bolts started in the front holes as the new bolts don't have factory-tapered tips to find the holes, and also won't start unless they are perfectly vertical which is hard to judge at the angles and clearances involved.

Replying to: aatherton (Aug 18, 2006 4:10 am) I'm beginning to see that an adjustable UP/DOWN seat would be a good idea for the xA and xB.   I just bought these CoolMax high tech seat covers (black and yellow, very spiff) and really like them. They are breathable, and washable, and fit really snug. Great in hot weather and they protect the left side seat bolster, which I think on the Scions are subject to premature wear from entry/exit.

#242 of 317 Roof racks for Scion xB by tblackburn Sep 01, 2006 (12:23 pm)
Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with any particular brand of roof racks for the Scion xB. (Although after reading about windshield issues and body stress, maybe it's not a good idea.) Replies to this message: aatherton (Sep 11, 2006 10:22 am) tblackburn (Sep 11, 2006 7:07 pm)
#243 of 317 Re: Roof racks for Scion xB [tblackburn] by aatherton Sep 11, 2006 (10:22 am)
Replying to: tblackburn (Sep 01, 2006 12:23 pm) I don't see a connection between the windshield problem and a roof rack. No connection has been reported. The good racks put their weight on the strong sides of the roof, are not rated for more than about 150 lbs, which is only 35 lbs per attachment point. Check out the Yakima racks and accessories for the xB at http://www.yakima.com/ and order what you want from http://www.rackwarehouse.com/. Replies to this message: tblackburn (Sep 11, 2006 7:07 pm)

Replying to: curious54 (Jul 29, 2006 11:26 am) My wife has an 07MY tC and the hood prop rattles since the plastic clip is loose.
