Default Do your chrome hoops rub your seats?

Really on the fence about buying chrome hoops because I don't want them rubbing on the seat backs, (you know what that sounds like) beside what it will do to the cheap leather seats. Have my seat reclined all the way and back as far as it goes. Anybody have a problem?

All the way back and tilted, it will rub the seat!! I have hoops and they definately rub. But they are still great! One notch forward and you are good to go!!

Thanks for the response SLIK I think I might just have to try them. I will try moving the seat just a little.

My legs aren't that long. At 6ft tall mine don't rub. But all the way back they will, like when the seat automatically goes back when the vette is turned off. I've had mine in for 3 years and no sign of wear on the back of the seats. You'll get a lot of compliments. Go for them.
