Does anyone have experience with this. Electric adjustment does not raise the seat high enough. Needs to be 4-5 inches higher.

I replaced the seats in my 04 intrigue built over the summer and early fall of 03 for Magna chairs installed in 07's and in later models. Its a big improvement with the two adjustable lumbar supports. It also has more support for your fanny. Its a taller chair with additional seat height off the floor. TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731

Ken,

A guy I knew about twenty years ago did this on his Van. He took two pieces of 1/8" wall steel tubing. I think it was a 2" x 3" tubing to raise his seat three inches. He used grade eight nuts and bolts. You could probably use 2" x 4" tubing.
You'll also have to lengthen your skirts on the bottom of the seats.

Could even take some hardwood (same as interior) and face the metal. Sort of like a pedestal box. Stain the wood to match existing and finish with deft (sp) spay lacquer.
