Need help with 2011 Genesis sedan front headrests

[Naed]

Hi,
I have a 2011 Genesis sedan that was bumped in the rear at a low speed which activated both front headrests to pop open.
According to the local Genesis dealer in San Jose, this 2011 model is the only year whose headrests can’t be reset and used again, but have to be replaced with new factory issued replacements.
Does anyone have any information on this subject?
There are no replacement headrests available at the dealers as they are on back order.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Dean!

Welcome. Moving this out of the community lounge and into the first generation Genesis Sedan section.

Yes in many cases the headrests can be reset.
