N600 Anyone have the crooked seat issue

Post by art Remai »

I went to the southwest unique little car show a while back, seen a few n600's there, and they all had the same crooked seat issue, where either the driver or passenger seat was turned inwards slightly. Anyone else correct the issue, or just left it as is? I corrected mine as the seat adjustment lever was almost hitting the driver door.

Did you ever notice the steering wheel comes out of the dash at an angle?
I think the seats are made angled inward to match the angled steering column.

The reason for that angle is there isnt the conventional space available to turn things parallel to the road. Meaning steering gear on the engine side is offset toward the middle, which makes the steering wheel tilted a bit toward the middle and the drivers seat is angled toward the middle to line up with the steering wheel. As you know, it is visible. It is designed that way. From the drivers perspective, at least for me, while I know it is that way, Ive never noticed (felt like) that I was sitting slightly off parallel to the road. I see no reason to mess with turning it straight.

The easy way to fix it without messing up the seats is to swap seats, passenger to driver side
and driver to passenger.
Also in a sedan for more comfort place a 1x2 with longer front bolts to tilt the seat back a bit.
Sedan seats are very uncomfortable for me.
