Do you mean that it is broken? Or you want to fix it (lock it) to one height so no one can ever change it?

I think Joe wants to have the entire seat higher than it came from the factory.

But since I don’t have a 2014 Lia Optima one poster thinks I should not reply.

But I will anyway. Joe if I am correct that you want the entire seat higher contact a body shop that can use proper spacers and tempered mounting bolts.
