PJFW8 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 My new Edge is great. My wife who is 4'11" is having problems comfortably reaching the pedals. Can the dealer adjust them? If not, is there a safe aftermarket extension? It is an '08 Limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi PJFW8. :D I do not think that the Dealer can do anything about adjusting the pedals, but it would probably be best to ask them that question. There are pedal extensions available on the aftermarket. I would start by asking your Dealer if they can recommend a seller, or if they have them available themselves. Ask the Manager of the Parts Department for help. An auto shop which does aftermarket modifications for the handicapped should be able to get them for you. If not, I would check with shops that stock supplies for the disabled/handicapped (am not trying to be a wiseguy, these are the types of stores which would be able to help you with these types of aftermarket accessories). I am really surprised that the seat cannot be brought into a position which would fit your wife. Has she moved the seat all the way forward, and pushed the telescoping steering wheel in all the way? My wife is only 5'0" and has never had a problem finding a comfortable seating position. Could just be that extra inch (or longer legs)? Hopefully, if you can not find them at the places I recommended, someone with personal experience in this type of problem will be able to jump in. Good luck! :beerchug: Edited February 19, 2008 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At your suggestion, the dealer is checking. My wife is still playing with seat height, tilt and lumbar adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
