Help with Headrests - Anyone else thing they are too far forward in the ST?

[Suli]

This may seem super picky, but it's very annoying to me: The headrest tilt seems to be tilted too far forward in the 25 ST

Anyone else think the headrests lean too far forward even at the "no tilt" setting (i checked, pulled the top all the way forward to reset it back)? It makes the seats SUPER uncomfortable and I feel like I need a foam wedge behind me to bring my chest and shoulders forward so my head doesn't feel like it's being pushed down to my chin. Any ideas on how to get the headrests back anymore?

Tried all sorts of seat and lumbar positions to try and get it so it's not so bad, but nothing is working.

Probably way too obvious, but did you push the headrest all the way forward and let it reset?

Sure did.

Apparently, this is not a new thing if the manufacturer doesnt use "active" head rests or head restraints (like Jeep/Dodge does).

What do you mean by “active?”

I rebuild headrests all the time to suit what I want. Take one apart and section the angled parts of the legs 3/4” or so and weld them back together. It’s generally not hard to do…or have done if you don’t have the equipment.

Not me, but i think it's going to depend hihgly on your seat angle. I'm tall, so i've always reclined my seat. Because of this I usually tilt the headrest full forward. Even here, it just barely touches my head.

If you get in all my cars, all my headrests are full forward. What's funny is if my wife drives my ST, she doesn't need to adjust the seat but she has to adjust the headrest to full back.

I, too, am on the taller side, 6'3", I run my seat quite upright, my wife hates getting in the car and pushing the button. My head rest is about an inch behind my head and is perfect for the way I sit.
