Uncomfortable Headrest
I'm 6'2' and find that the headrest protrudes towards the front of the vehicle in such a way that it makes the seat pretty uncomfortable. I've adjusted the headrest as far back as possible. I have the Comfort Seats.
I'm thinking of actually adding a foam wedge in the middle of my back to improve the situation.
Anyone else have any experience or advice with this?
Thank you for your help.

Does adjusting the lumbar help at all?
My wife and I are both 6'0". I have adjusted to and like the headrest being right behind my head so I keep it in the forward most position. My wife on the other hand didn't like it, and keeps the headrest in the farthest back position and it's tolerable for her.

One last thought, would adjusting the angle of the lower seat help? The bottom can essentially tilt forward and backward, maybe tipping it forward would adjust the angle of your back forward a bit? I suspect you have the headrest moved all the way up as well.
I expect you have tried all combinations, so don't mean to be condescending, just trying to help.

yea, tried all that. I mainly wonder if they can modify the headrest to put it further back or if someone can direct me to a source for seat accessories to address (foam wedges etc.).
I really like the car otherwise. But, I have to find a solution to this - its killing me.
