Randy Report post Posted October 18, 2009 Looking forward to getting my black on black FFH (501A leather seats). Ordered on 9-30-09. Got the VIN a week later. No ETA but DORA says Priority 01 which apparently isn't as good as it sounds. Maybe I'll get it by Thanksgiving. Anyway, in all the glowing reports about this car there's one drawback mentioned by a few owners: the headrest. Some owners claim the rigid headrest has given them back problems. It felt a little odd during the test drive, but I didn't find the headrest particularly bothersome. Of course, I only drove the car for 15-20 minutes. Any FFH owners have issues with the headrests?

DaveM Report post Posted October 18, 2009 I have none even though coming from GM vehicles that leave about 6" from back of head to the headrest. My FFH leaves maybe 1" but I never feel like it is a pain in the neck (pun intended) Seems like here or another forum someone else didn't like the position on the headrest. I would think if you didn't like it you could take it to a shop that covers seats and have them take it a part and maybe they can bend the steel shaft a little so it sits farther away or even thin out the padding so it sits farther away from your head and put the padding back on the backside so as not to make the headrest material look loose.

lolder Report post Posted October 18, 2009 I find the rear seat headrests uncomfortable and too low. Can they be removed or raised higher than the present limited adjustment? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can they be removed or raised higher than the present limited adjustment?any higher and would you be able to see out the back window? If they move up and down then they should be able to be removed. Lots of times there is a button you hold to get them out or a pin hole for a thin nail to push to get the rest out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
