Yes I see that. It is a frequent problem especially with smaller vehicles. And if it is bouncing around.
This was just the reason I used my seat adjuster brackets which are a little different from the usual flat type in that they take the seat back two to three inches but also raise it 50mm. You can just see that in the pic I think. I am 6' 1".
Cut it off!! NOT your knee. lol
I cannot remember if there is much harness there to allow much repositioning but I think not so you might have to do some harness mods. I still think some sort of cushioning device might help, perhaps a mix of hardboard, sponge and cloth material.

This may work with minimal adjustment of the loom - switch from a VW Corrado (and others I think) that sit flush with the door panel.... also lets you keep both switches on the drivers side

Any info?
