Has anyone had a close look at the Valeo Steering Column's installed on contours?
It looks like there is a channel for a telescoping feature!
I played around with it for half an hour then ran out of time.
Next time I get a chance I will be taking the steering column off to see if I can get the telescope to move.

Has anyone else noticed this/or gotten it to work?
Take your steering column cover off and take a look(it's only five #2 phillips head screws, you can do it :thumbs: )

Leave it alone!!!

It was designed that way to telescope in the event of a crash(if floor/subframe moves back in a front end inpact) but not for driver adjustment at all!!

Aww, that's a shame that it can't be adjusted.

Thanks for letting me know!
