I'm about 6' 1" and I have almost the trouble you do. I've managed to find a
comfortable position for daily driving (seat bottomed out, back tilted some,
forward 2 notches) that doesn't put my head into the headliner and allows me
proper access to the steering wheel and pedals. Alas, I have to be a bit of
a contortionist to make it work once I put a helmet on...

So say the specs. I forgot to check last time I was in a GL with a sunroof.

Or a Recaro racing seat...more headroom would be a godsend, though...
