Default Tilt Steering Wheel

I have had my C8 2LT for just over a week. This is my ninth Corvette, along with five others that belonged to my older brother, fourteen total, at least one from every generation. Every time I got or drove a new generation I said they'd never make a better one. I've been wrong every time, but never quite so wrong as with the C8. It is truly in a class by itself, so very different from my 2016 Z06, and so much more pleasing to drive. More comfortable; more predictable; more responsive; just more of everything. I've heard it said that the C7 was a home run, and the C8 is grand slam! I couldn't agree more. I will pose one question/issue I have with the C8. It seems to me that the tilt/telescoping steering wheel does not go upward nearly as high as the one in my Z06 did. I find that even at its highest point access and egress finds me touching the bottom of the steering wheel. Any suggestions (other then loose weight), information and/or comments are appreciated.

I agree with this..... not a huge deal, but I would like the wheel to tilt a bit higher

Only thing I can suggest is to lower the front of the seat in the exit position seat memory, so there's more room between the seat and wheel.

As already recommended... since nothing is going to change with the wheel or it's functioning.

I'm seeing by the responses that it's not just me. I had not thought of lowering the front of the seat in the exit position. I'll do that before the snow starts here on the east coast tomorrow. Thank you for the suggestion!
