Line of sight M6 convt vs. coupe

I'm 6'-5" tall and considering an M6 convertible, but driving one I became concerned that the windshield header bar was either lower then the coupe, or thicker which affected my line of sight. I felt I was looking at the back of the visor. Granted, I'm new to the seat controls (so maybe there's more adjustment then I realized), but has anyone had experience with this?
I can't find any published dimensions that compare this aspect.
I'm really hooked on the convertible.
Can anyone share their experience with lowering the seats beyond the factory settings, retrofits?
Thank you!!!

I'm 6' 3" so I understand where your coming from. I'm 99% sure the line of sight is an adjustment of seat thing. Just have your sales guy adjust the seat while your in it. Really these seats have a million adjustments to get to the exact detail.

I am 6' 3" and you just really need to play with the seats. I looked at the SL63 and AM V8 Vantage before going from the 650vert to M6 vert and it has the best seat adjustments for a tall fella... Take some time to play around with the seats and you'd soon get it right.

King, is it possible to see your Citrin Black M6? I'm about to pull the trigger on a new M6 but unsure of color but leaning towards Black Sapphire. I live in northern NJ and would appreciate seeing that color, if I can impose on you.

Thanks,
Ken

Thanks, unfortunately I don't think I have enough posts to do that or even to receive PM's.

Perhaps the Mods. can make a one time exception in this case?
