Hi,
I'm new to the forum and looking to buy an 2010 Edge Limited. Test drove one in Cinnamon w/Camel interior yesterday and immediately LOVED everything, except I HATED the head restraints! The salesman showed me an Escape and while the head restraint felt better, the vehicle was smaller than I wanted, and the Explorer restraints gave me the same problem as the Edge. Once I got home, I started searching for web sites that dealt with this issue and found the Ford Edge Forum. This is a great site!! I've been reading your posts about this issue, including a post from someone who substituted the Escape restraint for ones in their Edge in 2008 and all was better for them. Now, I am debating my next steps: Wonder if I can switch with 2010 Escape? Wonder if the back Edge restraints can switch to the front and be more comfortable? I don't want to flip them since it won't be able to lock in place. I read another post (ellen?) about how she had aftermarketer do a lumbar pad and went to that site, but didn't see any info about them., besides, I live in Maryland and this dealer was in Reno, NV and it sounded like you need to see him for a custom job. I guess this is a long post
from a newbie, but, I'd be greatful if anyone would tell me more about their luck on bending the posts on the restraint or share other solutions? The head restraint is really a potential deal breaker for me! Thanks.
