Has anyone found a trick to get the headrests so they aren't constantly pushing your head forward? I've adjusted them to every possible setting and I still feel like they are pushing my head forward while I'm driving. I've never seen a car with headrests that are tilted forward at the top 30 degrees. Other than that little nit, we're loving our new GT.

Thanks,
Mike

I just tilt the seat back so my head never really is against the headrest.

I have no problem with the headrests. Even though I keep the seat fairly straight up, and my head doesn't touch them unless I lean back a little. Frankly, I think they are great the way they are.

Join the crowd on the poorly designed headrest/headrestraint. It has been discussed here and on another forum as well. If you like leaning the seat back like an F-16 seat you will have no problem with the headrest. Tilting your seat back to overcome the headrest problem, seems to be the only way guys who "have no problem with it", make the problem go away.

I'd be willing to bet that if a guy takes the headrest out and then gets into the seat and adjusts the seatback to a comfortable driving position, he will find that the headrest is pushing his head forward slightly.

First, thanks guys for the kudos on the new sig pic!

And now, back to the thread topic...


I have always preferred a nearly vertical seat-back position, and that's how I drive it. I have the seat-bottom position all the way back for maximum legroom, but the seat-back is essentially vertical so my arms reach the steering wheel comfortably. Maybe I have poor posture or a short torso (even though I'm 6-foot tall) or something, but my head doesn't touch the headrest at all unless I lean my head back. So, I don't make any adjustments to make a "problem" go away... there just isn't a problem for me. Bottom line, for me this is a very, very comfortable ride.

There is a problem with the headrest? I thank the seats are pretty comfortable I do not thank I am sitting any different because of the headrests.
