Question Headrest rake - 2011

Am I the only one who thinks the front headrest rake, the way it's harshly tilted forwarded, is a poor design?

Perhaps I just don't know how it can be adjusted... If I'm missing something, please let me know. I'm always willing to learn something new.

Obviously you are of short stature! My wife who is 5'3" hates the fact that it pushes her head forward! I'm 6'3" and it is perfect! Raise it higher problem solved!

I'm 6 foot, and it's still bothersome. This the only car i've ever had where the headreast angled forward so severely. I'm considering removing it, bending it to the angle it should be, and reinstalling it.
