Default Headrest won't stay up

The driver and front pax headrest won't stay up on my '11 GX. They have the RSES installed. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it seems odd that both headrests would experience the same problem. When I raise them, they just fall right down to the lowest position with a thunk. If I wiggle the passenger one, sometimes it will stay up. It looks like there are a couple of plastic bushings that aren't seated properly, but when I push them down, they just ride up again when I raise the headrest.

I'll take it to the dealer next week, as this should be covered under warranty, but I'd like to know if this is a known issue and if there is anything I can do to prevent it from happening again.

I have no problems but I do not have the rear entertainment system. Do you hear the clicks when you raise the head rest?



This is the only mechanism that I see for the headrest lock.






The freaky blue lights are my interior LEDs reflecting the locking indentions.

Perhaps you have an aftermarket RSES like the InMotion headrest DVDs? If so perhaps the steel rods are not of the correct type for the GX? The factory DVD is manufactured into the rear of the front seat, not the headrests.
