The head restraints on the rirebird trans am and Firebird formula models with optional "uplevel seats will not stay adjusted. Since headrest posts are not notched, the head restraints slip back down to the tops of the seatbacks while driving.

Consumer tried ajusting head rest and found that when ajusting to up-down position, the head rest allows approx. 3 inches of space before it locks. The only locking position is a verticle position whereas when ajusting the hea drest would move almost off the seat then it will lock only to secure the head rest from falling off. Consumer has spoken to the head rest manufacturer for Pontiac in Canada. Canada's manufacturer admitted to problem, and also sent consumer some part to see if it made a difference, the parts did not make a difference. The head rest when up, it will fall down when ever vehicle is in operation. Shimmering of these vehicle will make head rest fall down.
