CR-V

I am 6'0". when driving my Honda S2000, my left temple is level with and only a few inches from the convertible roof frame. This is a steel rod structure, with sharp edges. On turning into and out of my drive, I frequently impact my left temple on this nonpadded structure. I contacted Honda through consumer line and through the local service department. They said that they could not help. While I am not an engineer, it seems that replacing the seats with others that sit the driver lower, or simply lowering the existing seat would solve the problem. I feel that NHTSA intercession is necessary. Thank you for your consideration. I am anxiously awaiting your reply, as this is my daily transporttion. A side impact would probably cause fatality or major brain injury. I am a neurologist and have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. I feel that this is a potentially very dangerous product flaw and needs correction asap. I have not contacted my legislator, but am certainly willing if that would help.
