I absolutely detest the headrests on the front seats. If I wanted to look that closely at my belly button I'd use a mirror. Are there any aftermarket options that get rid of that awful forward tilt?
It's the only thing I don't like about the car.

Yeah, they're the anti-whiplash headrests. Some people have just taken them out and put them back in backwards.

my aunts Hyundai Santa Fee has anti whiplash headrests as well, except you can pull them forward and they have 3 preset positions, one being way back like regular.

I was trying to find out how ours moved back and couldn't believe they are stuck that way!

I guess I recline my seat to the point where these are not an issue for me?

i like them where they are cause i can rest my head on them when driving, comfortable for me

I'm going to take mine to a machine shop to try to bend them back a little bit. Does anyone know what they are made of? I'm getting sick of staring down at my belly button while I'm driving. The people I pass probably think I'm praying or looking for a spilled beer or something. What was Ford thinking of when they designed the front head rests? If Ford can engineer the rear headrests to fold over and back, I think the fronts should be adjustable front to back as well. WTF?

If anyone likes these headrests, they must have a smaller head than me.

I'm about 6 foot. I have my seat reclined a bit (comfortably but still can drive normally) and raised the head rest to the highest position. No problems for me. When I first got the car my main issue was the headrest hitting my hat when I would wear it backwards. But since I've changed the position I no longer have any issues.
