Power Seat Track hitting my legs

Asked by Penny196415 Nov 27, 2019 at 07:36 AM about the 2015 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD

Question type: General

So, I just bought a 2015 Ford Explorer XLT Limited - I LOVE IT.  My only
issue is that I need to have my seat pushed all the way back to fit (I love my
adjustable pedals!).  But now the edges of the power seat track hit the back
of my calves and it's quite uncomfortable (driver side and passenger).  I've
done a search online to see if there's an accessory to add (cushion,
padding, etc) so my legs are not leaning against the sharp edges.  
Unfortunately, I haven't found any answers.  I'm willing to do some sort of
DIY (maybe with a pool noodle - those things are used for everything - LOL).  
Hoping someone here can help
me.  TIA

Making something to fit that cushions your legs is the way to go. I know of no one that sells anything to do what you are asking.

Thanks so much. I kind of figured I have to do something DIY. But I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. Hubby is pretty handy so I’m sure he’ll come up with something. Thanks again.

Penny. If the problem is you are tall, the seat tack can be permanently moved back so the seat can be moved forward hiding the track. That must be done by a professional metal worker and some drilling and welding will be needed. If the pedals are adjustable, maybe you can move the pedals back toward the firewall so the seat can be moved forward.
