Replying to: benandeleanor (Dec 28, 2008 7:49 pm) That's a bummer.   Instead of rails, try a little plastic step stool for a while to help climb in. Something like this would be cheap and lightweight to fool with.   I'm more inclined to believe the seats are the problem more than getting in. Some people have various issues that don't show up on test drives. Maybe the seat bottom is too long or too short, or maybe the seat back angle needs to get dialed in better.   Sometimes the pedals are poorly positioned for some drivers and sometimes the seat isn't parallel to the pedals, and that can tweak your back. You can get pedal extensions if you think that may be part of the problem.   An auto upholstery shop may be able to rebuild the seat a bit to make it fit you better by adding or removing foam, and even changing the dimensions of the seat. Your PT may know of some lumbar aids.

I had similar problem on my 2008 Tech...realized that when sitting with cushion on topmost position the bottom end of the seat-back was pushing into the lower back and causing pain..   I have lowered the cushion, Moved the steering wheel to lowest possible position, and the seat back has a slight tilt....and my pain disappeared.   Parallel parking & parking in the garage is difficult as now I have to scoot up to see beyond the hood...I am willing to live with that and have started enjoying MDX   Hope this helps Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Jan 06, 2009 8:31 am) steve_ (Jan 06, 2009 8:39 am) upstatedoc (Jan 06, 2009 10:22 am) sanjaysdca (Jan 06, 2009 12:38 pm) steve_ (Jan 06, 2009 1:05 pm)

Replying to: sanjaysdca (Jan 06, 2009 12:38 pm) It's a good tip.   Did you remove foam from the seat to get the bottom lower?
