I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem and if you know of someone who would shorten the column for me. Thanks for any info.
I put a pillow behind me. That works the best.

Amazon.com
Agree. Bought ($$$) ours at Lake Sumpter Landing golf cart store. Use plastic slip ties to attach to pedal so they don’t slip off. Works great.

My wife is 4'11" . We solved the problem with sliding El Tigre golf cart seats and a plastic block for the accelerator from any golf cart store or online.

Purchase a pedal extender. Brownwood golf cart store for $45.

I am 4’10”. The thick plastic snap on petal extender that can be purchased at the golf cart stores is perfect. It snaps right back off if my husband drives. We keep it in the glove box when not needed.

Friends have used a Sanding Block, about $6 at Home Depot fastened to the Accelerator Pedal, it's made of hard rubber and works great.

You can change the steering column out for a early 70's tilt steering column for around $600 plus labor or swap the column for one from a factory Ezgo limo cart. I have one one the shelf for a CC DS that I believe is 1.5" shorter and i think will probably fit. I'll check if your interested. Text me at 360 551-8488.

I’m sorry, it seems like some folks have missed the point. My suggestion would be to have the switches relocated to the lower seat wall. This was a common location on some older carts and may solve your problem. Good luck.

Add blocks to the peddles.

Thank you, RodneyBlue. Everyone was giving ideas about the pedal, you're the only one to address accessing the ignition switch. My wife is 4ft7, cannot reach it, even though we already have a pedal block and she uses a back cushion.

Thanks, I'll look for that vendor

Most of you are recommending a block for the acceleration pedal....that was not even stated as the problem!
