enigma-2 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Anyone know if a 2014 MKX tilting headrest will fit a 09 MKX? (Wife hates the angle of the stock headrest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 The headrest angle has been a very common discussion in the Mustang forums. It was discovered that the 12+ tilting headrests would fit earlier models at least back to 2010. I suspect the same thing is true of Edge seats. The mechanisms are all the same so really you just have to check the post spacing. I'm sure you could get a dealer to let you into an MKX with a tape measure to measurethe C2C spacing of the posts and then you can compare that to your Edge. Another solution that gained popularity due to the high cost of replacing the headrests with new ones was removing them, putting the posts in a bench vice and gently bending a bit at a time until you get an angle that works better for your comfort but is still relatively close to the head for safety.

Thanks Wizzard. Looked up the original post, and found another one that detailed bending on the ground using a pipe. I may consider this, still thinking about going OEM. Seems that I remember reading somewhere that the 2010 and 2009 were the same. Wondering if you would mind slapping a tape measure across your 2013 and see how the posts compare with mine. My headrest posts are about 3/8" in diameter and spaced about 5-7/8" inch center-to-center.
