- CX-5 Touring 2016
Hey, all.
I have good posture and love everything about the CX-5 except for the front head restraint angle. It's way too far forward. I've read it was designed for a 25 degree lean back, but that much lean back creates its own anatomical issues (compensations). I'd like to be able to sit at around 100 degrees, but that headrest makes it impossible.
It's a shame the IIHS seems to build their testing protocols around excessive kyphosis/forward head posture.
Have any of you bent the posts?
Has anyone tried transplanting a front a head restraint from another vehicle or from an aftermarket manufacturer?
Does anyone have info on the post diameter?
