I found it to be sucky until I raised it up and then it was absolutely fine for me.

Get a console or gaming PC, play video games for a few months. I guarantee your head will never hit the headrest even if it comes off the seat at a 90 deg. angle.

This is what I did and it helped quite a bit But I also plan on taking it apart and bending the rods. It. Might be higher on my priority list I plan on doing it soon.

Already done that...when I would wear a hat the back of the cap would rub on the headrest so when I turn my head the cap would go hommie crooked...made me look too gangsta.
Is the driver side and passenger both tilted forward or is all your driver's side tilted more forward than passenger? My driver's side is a lot more forward leaning than passenger

Mine only bothers me when wearing a hat. Didn't think about turning them around, which I will now do when I'm wearing a hat.

Anyone ever come up with a solution to this? I got my Badlands with MGV yesterday and its terrible. I took the head rest out and it seems like the rods are connected within the head rest with plastic and then the padding and MGV are added to that. I've seen where people have bent them, but I'd be afraid of breaking whatever plastic is in there and really screwing them up. I may stop by a local upholstery shop and see if they have any ideas or experience with this. I would think that getting the adjustable leather ones is an option, and then moving the MGV covers over. Better yet, Ford stop nickel and diming these builds and put adjustable in all and just buy two of those. My Jeep has 'active' headrests which are designed to pop out and meet your head in the event of a crash.

Anyone know if the front Bronco Sport headrests fit the front seats of a 2dr full size bronco?
I want a Roast headrest for my front seats if possible.

I did exactly this in all 4 of my CX5s. Put the legs in a vise and GENTLY put some pressure on the headrest to move it. It is possible to kink the tube and then your SOL. I bent mine 3/4 inch back on the Mazda and it was perfect.I guess you could try bending them right at the top of the rod.
