Two questions

Does anyone find the head restraint too far forward? If so, have you done something about it.

The auto wiper in my does not seem ot go on in snow. Is this a defect or should snow confuse it.

hmmm, this is the only car in which i think the head rest is where is should be kind of. in fact, if iremember correctly i think my old c32 or m3 used to have headrests that would rotate for even more frontwardness (nice word)
and i keep my pig in the gar when it snows, thats what the 33" tires on the dakota is for!! although i got stuck tonight binding in the woods.

I agree with you. They do seem a little forward compared to other cars I've had. I figure MB did that so you don't snap your head off with all that torque.
