Hey guys I'm new to the forum and just bought an 08 Edge and had issue with the headrests being to close to my head. A friend and I figured out the perfect fix for it and you can keep your current headrest without turning it around...which by the way I tried...but it just didn't look quite right.
What we ended up doing was so simple it was brilliant...and I have to give my friend the credit. We took off the headrest and put one rod then the other tightly in a vise and just bent the headrest back more in line with the seat about 2". I took a measurement from a point on the work bench to a seam on the headrest and then we bent one rod to that dimension then the other aligning it with the previous rod. Works like a charm!!!! So now I have about 1.5-2" of headroom...so simple and no cost.
