Seat Headrest issue

Does anyone else find that the headrest sticks too far forward? I have mine adjusted as low and far back as possible but still feel like it protrudes angled forward. When I sit down my head rests against the head rest and that it is pushing my head/neck forward more than it should. I wish I could angle the headrest back further....

Has anyone had similar issue and are there any fixes for this?

Thanks

No.....but you might consider reclining the seat backs a little bit (if your comfort doesn't suffer)......my guess is your seat backs might be too straight up and down and that's why your head is hitting the headrest.

Just a suggestion.......

Not experienced that, I have to have mine at least one click forward, yes on two clicks I can just feel it touching my hair, and my seats are fairly upright

Can't say the same either, just like huggy509, I have mine clicked one forward as well. If you wanna talk about uncomfortable headrests (and seats period), I can talk all day about my Toyota Sienna's front seats lol.

Weren't you supposed to be taking it in to have someone add more padding? Recall reading a post back in October or thereabouts

Haven't gotten around to doing so, but will probably do so in the next monthly

Yes! It drives me nuts. I even tried turning around the headrest which kind of works but won’t go down all the way. If your taller it will work.
