New Headrest wanted!!!

[Primeinator]

My Bronco FINALLY came in yesterday & I love everything about it, except the headrest. After 30 minutes of driving, my back was killing me & I had to pull it off & throw it in the back seat. Once I got home I put it on backwards.

Where can I find a replacement headrest that looks factory, but doesn’t push your chin into your sternum?

MGV? If so, just replace with other model headrests that adjust.

You realize when you pull it forward, it will pop back, right?

Just making sure …

Nope. Not on mine. The dealership even tried messing with it. It’s fixed in that position for both driver & passenger side.

The leather seats have the adjustable. There are different variants of the leather headrest with different color stitching. I have a base so I ordered the black with grey stitching from the FE. They are awesome. Flip and ruxer parts helped identify the right ones. Let me see if I can dig up the thread..

edit: here’s what I found and Flip replied with more details as well

So what trim do you have and what kind of seats? The manual seems to point to the same tilting operation for both manual and power seats.

There was a post several months back where someone made some sort of a jig out of wood blocks, put the headrest in it and drove over it with his Bronco. Bent it to a straight up position. Not going to try that.
Going to order some adjustable ones for mine. I have a royally messed up neck and its really uncomfortable for me to drive with my head forced forward.
So far, the headrest and the center console not staying open are my only complaints. Other than that, it's a sweet ride for sure.
