It’s a lot tougher when you’re tall to find a vehicle that has the interior room you need. Sometimes the right seat adjustment can make a big difference. Reclining the seat a notch or two more can give you some extra headroom, but it has to be at an angle that’s still comfortable and doesn’t feel awkward. Keep looking and don’t settle for a vehicle that’s not right for you.

Can you adjust the angle of the back of the seat forward a little to get your wrists closer to the top of the steering wheel? If you can’t get it set where your wrists are exactly positioned on the wheel like you’d want, then get it as close as possible and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just try for as much arm extension as you can get.

More than likely it’s because your seat is too far away from it, causing you to reach forward more than you normally would. This would cause your shoulders to pull forward, as well as pull on your neck and upper back muscles.

My car’s head restraint is too high for me and causes my head to bend forward leading to neck pain. Do you know how I might fix this? I already have my seat at its highest
@HowSkills2 жыл бұрын
Most head restraints are tilted forward as they are designed for safety more than comfort. You might try leaning your seat back a slight bit more to see if that helps, as long as it doesn't make it harder to see over the dash. This is a problem in some vehicles more than others, and can cause some real discomfort. Others have also tried a neck pillow/cushion to put behind them to add a little spacing between them and the head restraint. But that could negate some of the safety aspect of the restraint. The design is intended to decrease the distance your head and neck has to move in case of a collision, so tilting it forward decreases that distance and lessens the chance of serious injury.
