+10. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT WORKS. I've been looking for brackets that fit the E so I can finally have a bucket seat, but no one makes the damn things for the box.

i used a recaro ls-c seat. its a universal fit not an OEM seat.
I had used it in my old jetta racecar with a Wedge engineering slider and base.
Initially i contacted Wedge for a element base, shipped to canada would have been just under $150. I wasnt interested in spending money twice so i mdified this one. My friend owns a VW repair shop and allowed me to use his shopspace last saturday.
Basically i used the Jetta base, cut of all the 'legs' that bolt to the VW factory locations.
used some 1/8" x 1" flatbar from the local metal supply, added 4 new legs to the modified base. the slider and seat bolt to the base as recaro intended.

I'll take some more pics tomorrow when its light outside.

Question Seat Belt?

Has there been anything for an 08 Element... im 6'7" and its beggining to piss me off. I need more leg room.

***NOTE*** EXTEND MY SEAT CO. is willing to make a bracket for the elements but they need someone out in Los Angeles. If anyone out there in LA is looking for a almost free extension for the seat rails let me know so i can get it done?????

"In exchange for their car and time we would give them a rental car and free set of brackets."

Again this is in Los Angeles area... please, anyone with an E in this area the service is free and you get a rental to abuse for a few days. Please please.... this is the opportunity for us E Owners need to fix the leg room issue. A customization that is much needed, with proffesional work no improvised work. Please please...
