I AM 6'0". WHEN DRIVING MY HONDA S2000, MY LEFT TEMPLE IS LEVEL WITH AND ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF FRAME. THIS IS A STEEL ROD STRUCTURE, WITH SHARP EDGES. ON TURNING INTO AND OUT OF MY DRIVE, I FREQUENTLY IMPACT MY LEFT TEMPLE ON THIS NONPADDED STRUCTURE. I CONTACTED HONDA THROUGH CONSUMER LINE AND THROUGH THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP. WHILE I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, IT SEEMS THAT REPLACING THE SEATS WITH OTHERS THAT SIT THE DRIVER LOWER, OR SIMPLY LOWERING THE EXISTING SEAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NHTSA INTERCESSION IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR REPLY, AS THIS IS MY DAILY TRANSPORTTION. A SIDE IMPACT WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE FATALITY OR MAJOR BRAIN INJURY. I AM A NEUROLOGIST AND HAVE BEEN INJURED IN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FLAW AND NEEDS CORRECTION ASAP. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY LEGISLATOR, BUT AM CERTAINLY WILLING IF THAT WOULD HELP.
