2010 Mountaineer - Headrests

The front seat headrests feel like they need to be reclined, but they are fixed in position. I thought I would get used to them, but I always feel like my head is pitched forward a little too far.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions, or aftermarket headrests?

I encountered a similar frustration on my 2004 LS. I found a set from an older LS in the same color on an auction side and fortunately they slid right in.

Maybe some of the hesitation for other's (myself included) in responding is due to the potential safety issue with swapping headrests. Yes, headrests are an important safety item, and the modern, large, headrests are I believe to reduce the number of whiplash related injuries. If you are not concerned with whiplash injuries and opt to replace the headrests, okay. But before you sell the vehicle, you will want to reinstall the original headrests.
