headrest tilt

[sambb]

Does anyone else find that the headrests are canted too far forward? My chin is forced into a tucked position when all else is set right with my seating position and its bloody uncomfortable. Does anyone know if there is interchangability with skoda/audi headrests or with any other manufacturers for the polo gti seats?

push it back? it tilts...

Done that. In the fully back position IMO it projects too far forward of the back support. I sit quite upright for my turd lower back and the headrest position just doesn't seem to work for me.

not sure, I'm a bit over 6ft and don't have an issue, but my posture is hunched so can have it fairly forward.

I'm guessing the height does not make a difference either? removing it might be the best option for you.

Except technically its illegal to remove them if a factory fitted safety device.

Doesn't seem to stop a great majority on here doing naughty things though.

Turning it around would be better than removing it - then it would still prevent (or at least greatly reduce) whiplash in an accident.

The Toyota FT-86 has a headrest that is designed to be flipped around for when you wear a helmet

I turned mine around (polo 6r, not 9N*) when at a track day because the helmet made them uncomfortable. They're still technically there but without a helmet it would probably make them useless at preventing whiplash in an accident.
