Default Seat tracks?

Ok, so I'm short. How hard would it be to install or move the seat tracks to I can actually reach the pedals without stretching?? My husband is thinking we'd have to drill new holes but would it be possible to realign the track w/ the current holes? I would much rather drill new holes in the track and move it then drill holes through the floor board? Soes that make any sense to ya'll? It's already hard enough to see over the 4 inch scoop... much less feeling like a midget not being able to really reach the pedals!

how short are you, if the seats are stock there should be a lever in the front, and itll move up so far that i cant imagine anyone having problems. my problem was the seat would not go back far enough for my tastes when i got the car, and i am only 5'9"

I'm only 5'4" and I have slid it up as far as I can and where I can reach is past the last catch on the track.

Just a thought, if you can comfortably reach the steering wheel as it is maybe put a block or something on the pedals to make them easier to reach. Then you wouldn't have to modify the car at all.

6" heelsor platform shoe's,just kiddin.i cant believe its all the way up and you still cant touch.make sure the tracks are lubed and are working right.there is a spring that connects right side the left side latches.make sure the spring isnt broke.make sure there isnt something in the track preventing it from moving all the way forward.i'm 6 foot and the only problem i have with mine is my head is rubbing the headliner.i wish my seat sit alittle lower.
