Did that! Seat all the way down. There is just too little foot/leg room in the W201. Removing the bolster has really helped. Got a junkyard seat with the front height adjustment (under the thighs), but can't figure out how to remove the knob so I can put my own upholstery on it. Going to my mechanic tomorrow so he can show me. A query post/thread several days ago did not elicit any responses so far.
On my 300CE, I did have my front seat removed and had a upholstery shop tie some of the springs together so that I could sit lower on the seat. Even then, in the mornings (after a sleep when your spine expands a bit), my head touches the roof, so I have to recline the seat more than I really want. In the evenings, after a day's work when the spine has compressed, headroom doesn't seem so bad and I can incline the seat more to my liking.
That's the curse of being taller than average...can't really fit comfortably into any car I want.
