I'm not the tallest guy in the world, but I might be the tallest on this forum. I'm trying to find ways to make the seat a little shorter. But bumps I bump my head on the ceiling.

Interesting post OP.

I’m 7’ and grateful that I didn’t get a sunroof. There’s not much room between my seat and the backseat. Just about enough to slide my hand open palmed between the back of my seat and the back seat.

Op thanks for posting this info I'm sure it will help someone who needs this, I noted you said passenger seat which might help make some significant others accept the car better. I'm sure there are a few who would like this for the driver side too.
With limited sunroof headroom I can't, but did notice the problem yesterday again as I lean way forward trying to park the car in the small garage without hitting that blindspot right front fender on the wall.
I find it easier to back my camaro in a tight garage.

thanks, I was wishing I had a forward camera like the backup cam but it didn't occur to me..
I'll try it after shuffling vehicles.

With the long Camaro doors, I have to squeeze against the wall to get it andanother car in a narrow 3car divided garage.

Yup, Haircut when it touches, and I would never fir with my helmet in a raised seat... My full containment seat already sits lower than the stock seat is capable of...
