I solved the big problem by removing the headrests and throwing them away along with the seatbelts and airbags. I drove cars without any of those and I haven't died yet.

Have you found a way to bend the bars? I'd like another inch of space in the front and rear headrests. The rear headrests are especially awful for carseats as they hit them.I am over 22K miles and the annoyance of the head rests are still an issue. I am going to have to bend the bars so I get an extra inch. I think I have tried every possible seat position possible. People with pony tails or clips in their hair have the biggest issue. Wearing a baseball cap is not really comfortable in the JL. Then again...it could be my large head... or I am out side of the design profile.
Anyone have a hacksaw?Feels a bit silly for my first post, but I guess I need to start somewhere. The front headrests in the JLUR seem to be angled toward the front to such a degree that it is causing my wife some back/neck pain. I looked at them (probably for the first time) and see that they are far from straight up and down (with respect to the seatback) or tilted slightly forward. They are really fwd.
I checked the manual to see if there was a way to adjust the headrest angle but it is fixed in this position.
I understand the purpose of the headrest to prevent serious head/neck injury via whiplash, but it seems a bit too far IMO...
Anyone else notice this or have a family member bring this up, or is this just me. Anyone have a solution in mind? I thought about maybe checking out a headrest from a JK to see if it fits and if so, maybe having it done in black leather w/ red stitching to match the seats...
I'm sure alot of you will laugh this one off, but at least I didn't call it a car...
Because you are only 5'8" tall. I'm 6' tall and find the headrest to be a PITA.Must be a seat position thing. I don't think my head even touches the head restraint.
Well I'm 6'3" and my head is OVER the headreast and it doesn't bother me at all.Because you are only 5'8" tall. I'm 6' tall and find the headrest to be a PITA.
This could be dangerous in an accident. The head restraint should be adjusted so that its top lines up with the top of your head or as close to it as possible.Well I'm 6'3" and my head is OVER the headreast and it doesn't bother me at all.
