The seat will only go so far up and back, but the question is how far up and back does yours go before stopping? You might want to post a vid to show the seat in action.
A few years ago my Range Rover drivers seat would stop within 2 seconds of moving forward. It was a dime that fell in-between the seat and somehow got lodged in the track.
