Correct way to get in Viper

[mattdillon]

I was wondering if there is a correct way, It seems like sometimes when I get in that I'm rubbing more on the inside of the seat. It seems like the left side of the drivers seat will be the first place to see the wear & tear of getting in & out. What seems to be the most comfortable way to get in without rubbing so much on the seats. And I'm sure it has alot to do with the size of the person.

Put your right leg in first, then sorta gracefully "fall into place" while avoiding the left side bolster, left leg enters car after your butt has landed on the seat. This is what I do... wait scratch that... did... everytime I got in my Calibra and that is as low as a Viper is.
If you have the top off... well... right hand on the sportsbar, left hand on the windshield... and just hop in

I was wondering if there is a correct way,

Haven't you read page 304 of the owner's manual yet ?

Really, whatever works for you, depending on your height and weight and whether your side sill happens to be scalding hot.

The main tip for geting out is do not put weight on the center console armrest (like lifting yourself with one hand pushing there.) It is not uncommon to break that. There is a solution for that here: Lance's Console Support Wedge 
 Partsrack may still be selling these.

That is how I usually do it.

 

[eucharistos]

itv is right, right foot on floor, butt, left foot

also understand what AZTVR is saying, the consoles are famous for cracking. i put my forearm on the door jamb and lean on that to pivot out

All ths crap you just said happens everytime I get in & sometimes it just Feels Right & then other times It feels awkward. And when it does feel right I can never remember exactly how I did it! Lol

 

[KHitman]

I put my right foot in and slide into the seat, but I have cracked the left bolster over time (5 years). Guess I need to put some Sparco racing seats in now... Woops

 

[Phun70]

LEG, ASS, HEAD, LEG! in that order. If the top is down, down worry about your head!

 

[Mopar Boy]

Whatever you do, be careful. I hear people car rip their pants getting in and out!

 

[georgethedog]

You put your right foot in, you take right foot out, you put your right foot in and you shake it all about... Whoops, wrong answer.

 

[ILLSMOQ]

ASS FIRST then right leg then left leg = no wear on the seat.

HaHa, seems like 9 out of 10 times my seat belt thingy gets hung up on my pocket!

ILLSMOQ, I must say with all these answers, yours seems like the most conservative (Right Way) to get in without all the wear & tear on the seat!

Maybe you shouldn't have a Viper. A nice minivan may be more your style when you are wearing a skirt or dress. GTS Bruce

 

[Detlef]

I use ILLSMOQ's method and it works great.

Lol I did that with a pair of jeans. I was getting out and ripped the back pocket the button got hung somehow.

 

[Paul Hawker]

Getting out I always put my left elbow on the ledge behind the window, and lever myself out. Can be done pretty smooth and gracefully.

Peepers ?

 

[2snakes4us]

Get in whatever way works for you but do not put any weight or stress on THE DOOR, SEAT BOLSTER, OR CENTER CONSOLE

 

[Crompton]

no matter how many times i tell people to watch there head they always always hit it on the hard top.Butt down right leg in tilt head so chin hits chest rotate pivot and place left leg in.This is the proper way for not hitting you head or placing over do wear on the side of the seat.But just a side note if you do not have long legs this will not work for you on a car with side pipes.Well it will but it may burn the legs just a little.
