940 Ideas on Passenger Seat Height??

My passenger seat height is at least 2" too low. A typical passenger can barely see over the hood. I'm hoping someone might be familiar with the seat mounting hardware and have a suggestion. I did take the seat out years ago, but I don't see how it could go back in at a different height?? Forward and back adjustment works fine.

Could the height problem be caused by the seat foam getting compressed over the years?

Thanks!

I wonder if a seat base mechanism from one of the manual adjust 7xx model driver side would bolt in. They had manual adjust height adjustment.

Thinking I looked into doing that a few years ago. Everything was left and right parts only. May be easier to source a powered passenger seat from another 940/960. You may be able to swap the seat fabric if you disassemble the seats.
 
These parts were gradually introduced for 944/945 and 964/965 with manual right hand seat. May be as simple as finding a manual right hand seat from a later 94-95 940/960 for parts.
