The rubber block only acts as a spacer, there's no connection between the seat and the rubber block. You buy longer bolts, they pass through the rubber blocks and screw into the original mounting points in the floor. Even if the rubber is sheared, damaged, or somehow separated from the bolt, the bolt is still holding the seat.

 

i can reach the pedals, just the view isnt good enough, i used to drive a camery so.. the view is totally different between em. wanted to raise it a bit to see the whole view.

 

and the ***** on the side didn't raise it enough?

i'm 5'6" on a good day and sometimes wish the seat would go a little lower.

 

exactly - and that rubber is also now preventing the longer bolt from fully threading into the hole because it's acting as a spacer. Meaning you have a very real chance of that bolt snapping in an accident. If you look at the bolt used to secure the seat base to the floor, you'll see it is fully threaded when torqued properly. Spacing it upwards in something that itself is not solid, and not threaded, seems like an unnecessary risk.

 

A long bolt still has the same number of threads in contact with the threads of the nuts mounted in the floor. The bolt still has the same force on it in an accident if it's 1", 2" or 3" long.

 

But a long bolt through a rubber spacer has an exposed portion that is not threaded through anything..and that unsecured portion is now the weak link/fulcrum of the bolt in the event of an accident. To have the bolt be fully secured, it needs to be fully threaded/engaged
