Smile Re:headrests

Hi Jeep,,,, It works just fine,,, you have to release both ajustment clips at the same time and have someone pull the head rest straight up and out of its mounting sockets... Turn the head rest 180 degrees with it angleing back and reinstall.... My wife is short and that's the first com;laint she had was the head rest pushing on top of her head.... It works ,,, I've already done it.. I don't know if it works on anything prior to the 09,,, My truck is a 2012 Sport.. Cheers D

Thats what I ended up doing on my 2011 about 3 months ago... Its a LOT better. The only problem is I'm worried about breaking my neck in an accident... Hopefully its still sufficient?? haha.

I still think these seats are terribly uncomfortable. I certainly complained to Dodge about it already. It looks like it would be comfortable only if you are exactly the same size the seat is designed for. The top of the seat is harder than the middle, but since my back hits the top of the seat, it forces my back to curve unnaturally. I'm looking into some other seat options, but I've owned 28 vehicles including 2 dodge rams and 2 jeeps, and this is the FIRST car I've ever considered actually painful to sit in!

Unfortunately I don't believe many manufactures bank on 6' 9" humans when designing the comfort level of their interior seats. I have a friend that's 6' 8", he "HATES" anything with a sunroof. I'm only 6', and my opinion is totally different, having two third generation Rams prior to my '09, I love these seats, great support all around, but if I were 9" taller, I could certainly see your issues.

I could never get comfortable in my 2012 Ram. Got rid of it and now I drive a 2006 300c Heritage model with SRT seats in it. Definitely more comfortable.
