Well every small amount would help so could do it small amounts at a time. I'd rather be able to use the seat and the cover be a tiny bit loose then have to sell it for half what I paid for it!
I did have a thought though: Have you inadvertently mounted the seat with the top leaning outwards? Easily done as the rails end up mounting higher up the seat on the tunnel side as the floor isn't flat.
I braught the seats with the rails already attached to the passenger seat and I Think I've fitted it identically.
And yes I sit quite far forward so don't think that's helping at all. From what you guys say it's quite tight but from what I can see its way off. Any chance of the seat being out of shape?

Sorry by that do you mean the side mounts facing outwards? If so no

That would be good for fine adjustment.

I can report that I finally have sliding large Buddy Club P1s. I had to adjust the side mounts on all sliders so they were as far as possible away from the tunnel, and slot the front hole towards the tunnel on each of the tunnel side sliders. I also found fitting a leather central console cover helped as the seats slide better against leather than carpet (my car is quite an early one).

Okay had them in and they fitted nicely each side
Was happy for all of 10mins untill I found out I had put them so low the the Handle for sliding back and forward had bottomed out.... The happiness soon went and I gave up and left it for another week

I met a chap at the Mimms meet yesterday who had fitted DC5 Recaros on custom made rails. I had a try and I have to say they seem to be a good replacement for stock seats for a daily driver. They sat a lot lower than the OEM seats and the side compartment still opens. Sadly I dont have any pictures.

They do sound a pain in the arse but once you have fitted them once or twice, it's pretty easy. Sadly you end up losing paint from the seat bases and have skinned knucles They really arent' designed to fit the S2000 but they are good once they are in.
PS ive got a seat belt extender for sale if you need it.

Had to chuckle when I saw this in your other thread....
