Headrests Don't Stay Put

[adauria]

Has anyone figured out a way to tilt the headrests forward on the front seats so that they don't slide back as your head pressure pushes them over time?

The design in my old Elantra used to click forward to 3 positions, then go all the way back and you pulled it forward. This one seems to let you tilt it forward, but there's nothing preventing it going back except a tiny bit of resistance to pressure, which yields to the weight of my mighty head after just a few minutes.

Surprised no one else has this issue....

I'd suggest contacting your dealer and seeing if that's expected behavior (check a new genesis on the lot). If the behavior differs then get them to replace under warranty.

I've noticed this too. I don't usually rest my head on it, but when I do, I like it all the way out/forward. And just leaning back on it with normal weight (not pushing into it) it slides back. I think there just isn't enough tension in the mechanism to really hold it in place.
