problem #2

cbee has described this problem to a tee. I have the leather seats and head rest, but drove a demo with cloth inside it and didn't spend more than 15 minutes in the demo. I'm 6 ft tall and my wife is 5 ft, so this difference in height is a good example as to how bad these head rests are out of dimension with the contour of the back of the seat.

Anyone that drives more than one half hour or so will feel the pain in your neck, as your body is sitting against the back of the seat and your neck is being push forward from these poorly designs head rests. Just how safe are these head rest if you in a head on collision? I'm going to follow up the Ford chain and try to get some answers...Hopefully...

problem #1

Who designed this? This headrest is angled forward at such an angle and is so overpadded in a firm way that you cannot sit normally and comfortably. Head rest moves up or down--two fixed positions--but neither offers any comfort. It creates severe discomfort to the point of muscle strain in the neck and back. It's awful. Just got this car, first weekend with it. Spent a lot of time driving. Thr rest is great. But I have no idea how to solve this problem, short of torching off the head rests, or bending them back with use of a torch--really--I don''t see any other solution.
