Headrest not forward enough...

Man, I think Nissan cheaped out big time by not having
(1) telescoping steering wheel
(2) tilting head rest

As it stands, my head does not touch the headrest because it is too far back. I was looking around auto stores to see if they had any pillows or head rests that I could secure to the stock headrest to provide the support I need--but all I could see was this c-shaped thingy that goes around your neck.

I don't think 3rd gen headrests are very comfy either since the headrest is actually a little to flat. I rented el cheapo laganza recently and it had an awesome headrest. Nice and plump but also tilts. What can I do to get something like that? I just need something for the driver's side...

you could rent the leganza again... and if its the same kind of material.. but, i have the same problem and the only idea i have is to just get a pillow from home. maybe you could print out a nissan symbol and iron it to the pillow case?

Give me a break.

I know, but does your head actually touch the head rest? My seat is laying against the back seats. If I lay on the head rest I cant see nuthin but the radio.

No seatbelts either, I like my ribs.

ridin' gangsta style? hehe.. Maybe if you take the headrest into an auto upholstery shop they can take off the cloth cover and add more stuffing in it and sew the cover back on? probably for about $50

The Infiniti I30 has a tilting headrest. It fit's perfectly fine in a maxima and matches the leather perfectly in color and texture.

Dang someone already stole my I30 Idea. You can alsways duck tape a feather pillow to your current head rest. That way you can sleep comfortably while on the pike.
