Call me retarded, but I never even noticed that my rear headrests hindered my visibility out the back until I came across this thread. I'm going to pull out my rear headrests tonight. I rarely have passengers in the back anyway.

Driving home yesterday/work this am with headrests down: significant difference in rear visibility, esp helpful in that right rear quarter.

The way they flopped down, thought I might have rattle issues but not the case so far!

Shame on me! Had even looked at that part of the manual before; guess I need big cartoon pictures now................

I had a Volvo S60 that had rear headrests that did this, except they were electronically activated by a button on the central console - lots of fun bopping rear seat passengers

I just took mine off today. Looking out the rear view mirror feels less like I'm looking out the back back of a Lamborghini now. I appreciate the extra visibility.

I'm the OP. I've been driving with mine down the past week and I really like the extra visibility. I didn't think it would matter, but it does help. I guess I see now why they made this an option.

Same here I removed mine last night and it was much better this morning.

That would be very amusing!

I can't believe some of you have chosen to take the headrest out completely. Really?? Really?? You have just taken a car that is $65K and made it ghetto. What's next, I dare to ask... For god sakes, as a F owner, I assume all of you are above average drivers. You don't need 100% visibility from your back window, especially the lower side portions of your rear windows that the headrest obscures.

If your headrest is blocking the view of whatever then speed up so whatever it is, is now in the middle...lol. The original OP was just curious, but this thread has gotten so ridiculous. Come'on! Really? It has come down to removing the headrest or lowering the headrest so you can recapture the 5% visibility?

Whatever floats your boat guys. I respect your choices.

Calm down. We just took out headrests.....it's not like we're pulling out the back seats or putting Pep Boys parts on our cars. If pulling off headrests for the sake of visibilty is "ghetto" to you, then I can't touch your high standards.

PurduePete

Just some are are high, all others, ghetto..... No hard feelings.

this is actually a cool feature, i wish it was automatic though. as i would fool with the people in the back seats lol!!!
