hi.i have just purchased an xj and was wondering if their is a way the front seats can be raised any higher than the max with the seat control

Hi Robert, it is always possible to increase the overall height of the seat base, but it will depend how mechanical you are or whether you have access to a fabrication capability since the solution is to increase the tilt mechanism by employing a wedge or suitable bracket between the rear of the seat and the tilt mechanism.

I don't have access to the XJ to check, but there are multiple adjustments available on most premium electric seat mechanisms. It is possible to raise the entire seat base itself to be higher and then it is also the case that you can tilt upwards from the rear, making the total increase quite dramatic. Are you sure you have explored all of the current adjustments?
