Dan,

At the back of the rails that the seat slides in there are tabs that are bent in and stop the seat from going further back. If you open up the tabs a bit the seat will slide back farther. I've done that with my Westy.

I have a bit of a funky knee, and it would be helpful if I could move the seat back a bit - just driving around town I can feel it on my knee, in the long run it may cause damage. On a couple of other cars I've just unbolted the tracks and moved them back 4-6" - but it seems that on my Vanagon, the track is an integral part of the box the seat is attached to. Any suggestions, known fixes/mods that can change this. I have no problem fabricating anything, I weld, etc.
