Q: Electric car seat adjustments.
Can electric car seat adjustments be altered? I want to specifically know if the rake of the car seat cushion be changed to make the seat more flat. Due to back problems I would like to have the factory settings on my car seat changed so as to make the seat more flat like sitting in a position with no or less tilt. I need to have my knees as close to the level of my hips when driving if possible. Thanks for your help.
