Sourcemobility Gas and Brake Pedal Extenders for Cars, Go Kart, Ride on Toys

My daughter is 4'8'' tall so when driving she was very close to the steering wheel which is a risk if the airbag is deployed. She has a VW Jetta 2015, so I decided to buy these pedal extenders so that she can move the seat a little bit back. These extenders work perfectly, obviously some adjustments need to be done before doing the final installation, it is easy to move the pieces (or remove the unnecessary ones) to have the right setup, in my daughter case I only require to extend the pedals a few inches, so I remove one piece in the break pedal extender to have the right setup. The difficult part to install these extenders is the car where you are working on, because is difficult to work in the floor of the car under the car board, with the seat at your right, so I’ll recommend to try to determine the pedal setup before trying to do the final installation, test with the driver that is going to use them, until she/he is comfortable with the setting, then tight any pieces that are not related to the attach of the extender to the original pedals, and finally install them. Start with the gas pedal, I think this was the one that I spent more time working on just because to reach the original pedal, and tight the screws was a little bit difficult just because of the location and space to work on. The break pedal was very easy to install, I just have to change one of the long screws by one of the provided shorter ones. Be sure to tight very well all the screws!! I drove the car before my daughter just to be sure that the extenders were working correctly and just in case I didn’t do the right installation. After several tests, I let my daughter to give it a try, and she now is so happy!! She is now driving in a “normal” position and without any problems.Finally, be sure to have the right tools to tight your screws, that definitively will make the installation easier. So far these extenders are working perfectly, and my daughter feels safer not being so close to the steering wheel.

We purchased a 2019 Honda Odyssey and my 4'10" wife could not drive it nor any other Honda. To get Honda Assistance you have to find a NMEDA member who makes you contact a ADED Specialist then have a doctors note. I don't understand why it is so complicated and time consuming and all this time the car just sits. Honda dealer says just contact Honda Mobility...yea, easier said than done!!Well I gave up on Honda Mobility and purchased these petal extenders and two days later I had happy wife again!I highly recommend watching the install video because the instructions are quite cryptic. I had to watch it twice.We spent alot of time measuring, we used styrofoam and wood blocks to gauge the length to set the petals to(didn't drive the car). I then adjusted the length of the petals before attempting to install on the car petals. The gas petal is a little tricky to get on, not much room between the console and the petal. I'm only 5'5" and I cannot image how anyone bigger can get in between the seat and the petals. The gas petal bolts that are for the length and height should be tight enough to support themselves without moving around, this makes it easier to slip on the assembly onto the gas petal of the car. It does tighten up once you do all the bolts and the 4 screws on the base of the assembly. The brake petal literally slips right on, couple of minutes. The wedge had to be used because if not the bolts DO NOT tighten up due to the bolt is only threaded about one inch. Installing the petals is easy, the time consuming part is the tweaking to get it comfortable for the driver. Very sturdy once done.

My wife has MS, and it was becoming difficult for her to drive her 2011 Chevy Equinox because the brake and gas pedals were so far into the well and of such different heights, requiring her to sit close to the wheel and lift her leg to get her foot from the gas to the brake, a move that fatigued her to the point she could only drive for about 15 minutes before having to stop and rest.She wanted the pedals to be lower to the floor, closer to the seat, closer together, and at the same level so she could use a heel-toe driving style without lifting her leg.The units came assembled but not in the configuration I needed, and the bolts that hold the brake extension onto the brake pedal were too long. The kit only included one of the shorter bolts for that application, so I had to dig up a second one from the bolt pile (always keep your leftover bolts!).The installation is a lot easier if you dissemble the extensions from the mounting brackets. Start with the brake mounting bracket, secure it onto the brake pedal, then do the same for the bracket for the gas pedal. The gas pedal mounting bracket is a bit funky, relying on little bolts you tighten with the small angle key provided to push down against the pedal against little bolts that catch on the underneath.So get both of those brackets tight onto the pedals first.Then put the extensions assembly onto the gas pedal loosely (hand tight). I moved some of the spacers around to get the gas pedal closer to the brake. Then I found a good position by holding it up in place that fit well. Did the same with the brake, using the bolts hand tightened to find a configuration I wanted. Once I had the rough positions set I put in the lock washers on the brake assembly bolts and tightened it up. The did the same with the gas pedal, getting it to align with the brake at about the same height and distance from the seat.My wife loves the new pedals and had me adjust the gas one a bit. She says she can drive a lot better without the fatigue that comes with lifting her foot each time.A week before we went to a place that customized vans for the handicapped and made adjustments like these. They had some pedal extensions but had nothing to bring the pedals closer together or lower to the floor like this unit did. They even suggested we sell the car and get one with different pedals! Other shops and dealers wouldn't touch the job with a ten foot pole due to liability concerns. Our only other option was to hire a friend who welds and does other fabrications to custom extend the brake but even then they wouldn't be aligned as well as I was able to get these to align. Besides, that would have hurt resale.It's not perfect - Criticisms I have with this setup:1. The extensions for the brake pedal rely on tightness of the bolts in the extensions to keep it in place. A strong hard push on the gas could make it move out of position, but I tightened it up very hard to help prevent that. I'll have to check it every now and then to readjust it if it ever moves. In comparison the brake extensions are solid and could take a lot of abuse.2. Lack of a second bolt to get the bracket to fit tightly on the brake pedal.3. Instructions that came with it were useless and I threw them away.Other than that, pretty cool setup and wife is happy. Took me about an hour and a beer to do the install, taking two breaks to get the feeling back in my legs and feet.
