Does anyone know if they make seat track extensions for a 4th gen firebird?

There's a trick you can do that gains about an extra inch of rearward travel on the power seat. Remove the seat from the car and look at the front edge of the track. You'll see that the end of the metal track is bent over so that it acts as a stopper when the seat is all the way back. Bend that end piece so that it is straight (or cut it off). The seat will now stop about an inch farther back than it did before. This is one of the first mods I did in my car and it has been a real improvement in comfort since I'm a little over 6'3" with a 34" inseam.
