i scrape my head every time on the air..im 5 nine. anyone know any tricks? its the thing i like least on the air
 
Duck more. I’m 6’5” and I hit my head twice during the test drive, managed to have not done it again since. Maybe use easy entry to lower your seat more when you’re getting in and out, to create more clearance?

yeah. easy entry sucks because you cant set it for where you want it to stop
 
Turn away from the door and go in butt first. Don't turn your head forward while getting in - keep it toward the back of the door (the highest point).
 
Not in the front seat, but getting into the rear I've had friends hit their heads.

Yes, need to do it like any sports car. Butt first, then turn once you're seated. I never hit my head and I'm 5'10".
 
Only when I'm standing outside and it won't let me in for 2 mins...then I hit my forehead with my palm
 
tried all that stuff.. i must have my seat high. with it set low i can get in without needing major surgery..wish they would make easy exit adjustable. now it goes way back and way down and you need a pickaxe to get out

Umm as per the note on the dash, touching any of the seat controls stops all seat movement
 
5' 7" & hit my head every time for 1 ½ years until totaled. Being 81 may have had something to do with it but the design of the roof line was a real problem for me.
 
No issues for me as long as I perform the following...

My exit is a bit less graceful...
 
I have easy entry on my own Air and never hit my head with it. But I often hit my head on loaner without easy entry setup.
 
Nope.
 
No. You may want to lower the seat.
 
not as much as I used to. coming from a Y, I had more head room. It very rarely happens now, knowing I need to limbo into the car
 
During my test drive I hit my head hard enough to get a knot and a two day headache. In my month of ownership it hasn't happened once. Pain teaches.

Try a ford gt, darned door overhang will get almost everyone almost all the time.
 
yes - when I ride as a passenger, I almost invariably hit or tap my head despite being aware of the issue. As a driver practically never. Have perfected the art of slinging into the driver seat - Experience the prior sports coupes I had before the Air
