GR Yaris How do you get in ?

[BrianTheSn@il]

How do you get into your GR4 ?
Bum first or head first ?
Now this puzzles me, as im pretty short in height. I always enter a car bum first, i put my bum on the seat and then my head swings into the car.
With the GR4 my head always hit the roof while getting in, it does my head in ( so to speak)
The other entry which is a bit more faffy - is to head in first and then climb into the car.

How do you enter your ride ?

Same here. The only problem is getting that last leg in, when I put my back out.

@BrianTheSn@il - you'll learn and adapt.

Possibly I’m 6ft 3 bum frost like you don’t seem to hit my head.

Are you sure it's due to the high seat and not the shell on your back?

 

[corroded]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone get into the front of a car via the head first method.

I don't think I even get into the back of three door cars that way, usually leg, then head

So leg, bum, head for the seats with regular access, and leg, head, bum for the back seat of a three door.

I like to crawl over from the passenger door.

Jokes aside.
Open door, first leg, falling into my ultra low Recaro PP, second leg, pull seat forward, close door, seat belt, off we go.

nope mate, wouldn't be the first, won't be the last time I bonk my head while getting in the car

 

[yuri1312]

well I stand corrected, much better and easier to get in, after installing the DNA seat rails

 

[BrianTheSn@il]

The problem i see with the seat rails lowering, is that the passenger seat is allreay higher than the drivers seat, so lowering the drivers seat makes the passenger seat about 3 inches higher than the drivers seat.

that's why I applied the lowering kit to both the driver and passenger seats

Bum first and then presumably swing in your legs? Are you an aspiring D list celeb hoping to get papped, Brian?

Also, how does your shell fit in?

Me too. It’s pretty annoying.

I looked at the door opening and started keeping my head positioned more to the rear as I get in. That helps a bit.
One of the mods on my list for the car is to fit a DNA racing seat lowering kit. That might also have the extra benefit of giving enough clearance for the top of my head.
