@ 6-01 I feel your pain on headroom and legroom.
I took a non power seat, put it to the floor as best I could (no washers, no nothing), and redrilled new holes a slight bit further back, to where the seat BARELY brushes the soft top when stowed. This helped the legroom.
Also on legroom, most folks told me to put the steering wheel all the way forward. I've found that if I leave the collar a bit loose, push the steering wheel forward when I get out, enter the car by "stepping around" the wheel with my right knee, and then actually PULL THE WHEEL OUT about 1/2 way to drive, it's much better. Leaves room for the knees. With the wheel up tight to the dash, it tends to be exactly where my knees don't want it, but pulling it out puts it in your lap.
Also, the hard top buys you about 1" of headroom. I just built an electric winch mechanism to raise and lower my hard top, and use the soft one only in emergency rains. I can remove or replace my hard top, by myself, in 5 minutes or less without breaking a sweat.
