Which is a big issue as I bought one only 2 weeks ago! frown

However, even with the seat right back and the typical italian-ape position I'm still having to lean my head to one side slightly as its touching the roof (only just 6ft tall) and therefore its triggering a longstanding back niggle. Think my limbs are the wrong shape! wink

Slightly distraught as might have to sell it as a result, which is annoying as I've just spent £250 on a new throttle body and fan resistor. Short of putting my head out the sunroof I'm stumped as to how to solve this problem - anyone else had the same?

its the sunroof that seems to be doing it. i have reasonably big feet (a wide 12) so am already only driving it with the thinnest sole shoes to avoid getting my feet snagged!

gotta be the sunroof thats doing it, i'm really having to tilt my head.

don't use it as a daily driver so no rush to sell it but might have to. ho hum!

out of interest, does the spider have more or less headroom (with the roof up of course!)?
