I started a whole thread over at another site on the issue with the seats. Mine were turned inward so they faced toward the center of the vehicle (rather than facing straight ahead), and also tilted downward toward the center of the vehicle (so the drive would list to the right in the seat). After a couple of weeks of trying to sit up straight against the forces of the seat, I ended up in my chiropractor's office, and he couldn't fix the issues in my back that arose because of the seat position.
The dealership where I purchased my TBSS agreed with me that there were serious issues and reported them to GM. GM, in turn, sent out a regional rep who said that because all of the TBSSs were the same (we met at a dealership and sat behind the wheel of 2 other SSs), that the issue did not exist. The dealership said that was bunk and paid for me to go to a specialty shop where they spent 3 hours re-aligning the seats so I could actually drive the vehicle. Other people at the other site have reported the same issue, and have also had to fix their vehicles on their own.
Hopefully you won't have the same issues.

I'm not sure how tall Moog is, but pretty close to my height. On the other hand, he's big... Nationally ranked powerlifter big -- I said it in the other thread: he makes me feel small
Congrats on the DD, on to the whistler
