I purchased a nissan versa S. I am happy with the car, but I am having a tough time getting a comfortable seating position. I would like to convert my seat to have height adjustment just like in the SL model. Where do I start? Are there any aftermarket seat mounts available?

Best bet is to find a wrecked SL, and swap the seats in. Really doubt there are any aftermarket seat mounts for Versa yet.

Your kidding, they don't have height adjustment in the S? I bought my 2008 V "new" (with 1,100 miles on it-a guy traded it in for 0% financing on a Hyundai Azera) from my brother's Hyundai dealership while I was visiting family in the Cleveland area over Christmas, so I didn't do any research on them before buying. Glad that mine had that, plus a number of other extras. It was much more comfortable and QUIETER than the Hyundai Tucson my brother was trying to convince me to buy!!!

What part do I not understand here1. you got a new car with 1,100 miles on it? 2. the previous owner traded it in?Those to things tell me you bought a USED car.

Which is why it is "new". meaning, not really new, but pretty much new.

Interestingly enough . . . after all sorts of trial adjustments my most comfortable driving position is with the height at its lowest position!

Be nice if there were some lumbar support though.

In your country it comes with the hight adjuster but in the USA and Canada models the Versa S doesn't have the upgraded front drivers seat. That is only available in the SL trim.

I couldn't have bought the S because of the lack of seat adjustment. There just wasn't enough leg room in the S cockpit for my 6'3" frame. On the SL with the seat all the way down and all the way back, it's just enough room.

I got under my seat and not knowing what to look for... I am wondering if the seat just needs a handle. the underside almost looks to complicated for a simple non-adjustable seat. Any chance to get someone to take a picture of their height adjustable seat mount?

Probably depends on proportions. I'm all leg. Shorter upper torso. My Brother is 6'6" and we have the same leg length.
