Do you guys think you are activating the anti-whiplash function built into the headrests during a collision? It shouldn't be this difficult to move them if the function is there.

I was just doing a bit of spring cleaning inside the GS and decided to check this out on mine (Canadian model with Technology package, which has the 18-way power seats) and the headrest definitely doesn't move forwards. The sides do bend forward and that's it.

Someone should send an email to Lexus and see what they have to say. The point about the movement potentially being the whiplash protection is a good point...

It looks to me that the NON lux headrests move horizontally forwards and backwards more than lux package headrests. If you look at mine there is just a small area inside the oval for movement. Again I could not adjust when it was on my seat, I had to remove it and pull hard. Just now I tried to move it horizontally while attached to the seat back and couldn't. But the head rest wings do move quite easily.
I took a bright light to look inside this headrest and there is nothing adjustable (horizontally). There are a couple strips tack welded to the main cylindrical posts (crash protection I'm guessing).
Now look at ItzFilyO's video and that's a different head rest. The question I have is why does he have that type of headrest in a 2014 luxury model?
Maybe the F-Sport luxury model came with them?

ItzFily's is an F Sport. It does not have the luxury headrest.

I have 13 luxury and did not know about the "wings". You can grab on them and bend. I attempted but could not move it horizontally as shown in the picture. I raise it up and can feel the holes for the rods. It looks like it's made a lot bigger than the rods to allow movement but I can not move it. I, however, can adjust the upper part of the seat with the button which in turn move the headrest back and forth. Not sure if this is what they mean.

Have you decided what you're going to get to replace your GS?

ItzFilyO, in your video of the headrest you mention Premium seats. Do you have the 18 way power seats in the F-Sport or what is considered Premium seats in the F-Sport?
BTW even though my headrest doesn't move forward and back, I did learn the sides of the headrest bends forward. Cradling the back of your head every so nicely!

He has 16 way power seats. Same headrests as the premium.

That video was on my 14 Premium, same headrest as my 14 FSport, the one I have now.
