Need more headroom with helmet - permanent headliner removal?

[goggles]

It seems like I need a bit more headroom in the car while wearing a helmet, and I was considering taking out the headliner to get a bit more breathing room. I've seen several threads in here about removing the headliner and some of the electrical repercussions of doing so. What I haven't found are the solutions to the problems regarding the antennas and other wiring bits that crop up when removing the headliner.

Are there any better options for getting some more headspace? Generally I am comfortable in my seating position, and eventually I may get a race seat, but as far as I can tell, there's no good way to lower myself in the car, and indeed there might be a bit more space that opens up above if I remove the headliner.

I'm assuming you don't have the Recaros, because they can be lowered or raised with a lever along the left side where you would expect the seat back reclining lever to be.

Ah, sorry, should have provided more info.

2015 with the stock cloth seats. As far as I know, there is no way to raise or lower unless I'm missing something.

Wait, maybe I'm dumb. There's an adjustment lever that I thought scooted forward and backwards, but it seems to move diagonally, and mostly intended to raise and lower. Will see if this gives me the room I need. FFS.

Good luck, let us know what happens.
