Does this only happen when you hit the memory seat function?

You will also notice that when you move the seats back the headrests should move up as to accomodate a larger person. And vise versa....

I moved my seat forward to put a box in the back and the read reast was moving up at the same time.

my c32 has a headrest adjustment button. why dont you guys just use that button to adjust the headrest.

i do use the headrest button. when a passenger sits in the car and adjusts the seat, the headrest always moves up though, whether they move the seat forward or backward. so it's kind of annoying.

The headrest is there to support your head in case you get rear-ended badly. Otherwise you could break your spinal cord.
