2017 Outback headrests are too far forward. Has anyone tried bending them back?  Any advice is appreciated.

On my moms 2017 crosstrek they are on a ratchet.

Try pulling the cushion part of the head rest forward as far as it'll go. Then let go. If it's on the ratchet I'm talking about it will go back to its starting position.

 

If not. Then you could try bending them, if you really really wanted to. Just need to be careful...

 

Or you can talk to the dealership and see if you can buy the ratcheting headrests for you car.

I'm sure you can.
