    I presume you meant "airbag issue." You're still two inches farther from the steering wheel, which may make a difference in airbag timing.

    But I do concede that it's the distance of your chest from the wheel, not your back. Since people are different thickness, things may work out properly. A thin guy two inches closer is like a thicker guy two inches farther back.

    Something I just considered: What happens if my head moves back, abeam the B-pillar, instead of next to the window? The side-curtain airbag won't help me.

    Nope, consider a custom modifier in your area.

    Alicia,

    This project died long ago. Apparently, problemchild's fabricator/modifier got frightened from a liability standpoint because of some safety issues that were raised. If you want your seat rails extended rearward, you'll have to find someone else. The one person I know who extended his seat rails got a company that does modifications for the handicapped to do it. His modifier was located in Billerica, MA.

    I noticed that you are seeking more legroom in your prius. Have you seen the seat extenders on PriusChat.com's store. Go to

    http://priuschat.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/146

    The company is also completing seat extenders for the Prius 3 within a week. Please message me for more information.

    The last post in this thread was over a year and a half ago; and many water run under the bridge.
    If you are selling something, you can word your "thing" in a different format like "I'm selling this...!!"

    EDIT
    PS: I just realized that you are a newbie with 20+ post.......
