#9 of 48 CRV head restraint wins award by harvey44 Jul 03, 2007 (2:56 pm)
IIHS gave ratings out today for neck injuries in SUVs - the majority (24 of 39 tested) failed.   CRV got an excellent rating for neck protection.   Neck restraints were not tested inserted backwards.
#10 of 48 Middle back seat head restraint for 2003 by johnnymurph Sep 29, 2007 (10:07 pm)
I purchased this vehicle used, but the middle (small) head restraint was not included. Since the C-RV is mainly being used as a two person vehicle, it was not a major problem. I would like to find one, but I have had terrible success so far. Black interior, 2003 C-RV EX.

Replying to: johnnymurph (Sep 29, 2007 10:07 pm) you can order from a body shop. Some people have removed all the rear headrests to get better rear vision.

Replying to: johnnymurph (Sep 29, 2007 10:07 pm) I would try a local auto salvage yard. They should have one or be able to locate one.

Replying to: carbuyer31 (Jun 08, 2007 11:30 am) I just test drove the 08 CR-V EX-L and I loved the vehicle with one big problem - the headrest. It was pushing my head forward and after a short (about 5 min) test drive I had one heck of a headache. I am encouraged that it can be turned around. I am 5'0" tall and it is totally uncomfortable. I am also encouraged that others are having a similar reaction - maybe Honda will make a change for 09.

I nominate those of you who flip it for the sake of comfort for a Darwin Award! Replies to this message: tidester (Dec 17, 2007 12:27 am)

Replying to: aslguy (Dec 16, 2007 2:25 pm) for the sake of comfort for a Darwin Award!   Sorry, that won't qualify for a Darwin Award since no one is in jeopardy of removing themselves from the human genome as a result of such action.   Perhaps you have a constructive suggestion?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#16 of 48 I can't sit in a normal driving position and touch it... by dtstof Dec 17, 2007 (7:40 am)
unless the seat is reclined a lot, I'd just raise it, moving it away from the head. If you reverse it, as others have said, you've removed the safety feature. I can't even come near it in the reverse position, and it no longer locks.
#17 of 48 CR-V Head Rest Issue by emehollin Apr 27, 2008 (4:41 pm)
My wife (5'1") is looking at buying a 2008 CR-V. She loves everything about the car except the headrest forces her head forward, regardless of the adjusted height of the headrest. She sits comfortably in my 2004 Accord so we pulled the headrest from the Accord and tried it in the CR-V. It fit but the problem remained as far as forcing her head forward. As others in the forum have noted, reversing or removing the headrest is not an option. My thought would be to somehow bend the two rods to change the angle enough to allow her head to be in a more comfortable position. This solution should retain the safety feature and improve comfort.   I can understand that the dealer might be reluctant to make any modifications but do the members have any thoughts or suggestions? This issue is a deal breaker on the purchase.

Replying to: emehollin (Apr 27, 2008 4:41 pm) This is the only cushion on the market (that I have seen) that works with the active head restraint that can push your head forward. By the way, NHTSA knows all about the comfort complaints that have been lodged against many makes and models.   link title   Replies to this message: emehollin (Jun 10, 2008 5:26 pm) ebroaded (Dec 06, 2008 5:55 pm) cinglemom (Dec 08, 2008 11:13 am)
