Knee Pad ?

I have a 2016 Platinum (coulis red / cashmere) which I love. However, I find that after an hour or so of driving my right knee is uncomfortable due to the tight proximity resting against the center console. I've been using a towel between leg/knee and center console for some relief but I figure there must be a more elegant solution. I have thought about gel mouse/ wristrests which come in many colors but not sure how I would attach it to not damage the interior.

Has anyone else experienced this and come up with a solution?

I have this problem with my 1995 C4 Vette, but the Max fits my 5'8", 170 lbs frame like a glove. Do you have a large to x-large frame (your bod, not the car :-)).

I just got a '17 Platinum and I have found the same thing on long drives. I rented a base model last year that I fell in love so picked this one up.

My right knee definitely rubs on the console. I use cruise control so I don't sit as upright with legs forward as normal driving position.

The seat is great and comfortable but it would be nice if the console was not as close to the seat or if it was curved away more towards the shifter.

I agree 100% with the complaint but it's not something that is keeping me from enjoying the car.

I had the same reaction as I was coming from a car that let me sit like I do in my man-cave, but I got used to it and they pad it pretty well.

Does anyone know how to remove the knee pads on driver's side of console. Want to run a wire behind it for my dash cam to the plug inside center console sole.
