Default Head Rest Hurting Neck

I'm tall and I like to have my seat relatively upright, but the headrest bulges out and is angled forward, thus it pushes my head forward. This is really starting to annoy me and the headrest isn't adjustable. Is anyone else noticing this.. or is it just the way I have my seat setup. Are there any good after market head rests that will match the black interior and not force my head forward? Or is there someway to adjust my seat to stop this from happening....

Just curious. You say it isn't adjustable. Do you mean the ability to tilt forward or backward? Height is adjustable.

Yeah, Realy I would like the ability to tilt it back a bit... I think all the problems I'm having with it is cause it tilts forward too much for when you have your set upright.

I have seen people turn them around but I suspect that provides little or no safety protection. I'll bet your customer rep. at the dealer could locate you a place that would alter or make an adjustable one for your car. Hot rod custom type shops do it all the time.

Yeah, it is angled forward for safety reasons. Specifically, head and neck support from rear end collisions. Good thing I don't sit straight up!
