Folding Rear Headrests Installed

[MadeSmall]

Installed these 2013-2019 Escape folding rear headrests (eBay purchase). Matches the XL black cloth interior. Great fit but they do not lock in - the notch in the shaft that locks them is a bit smaller than the OEM. I might modify it later but it is a snug fit - they aren’t going anywhere. Provides a lot more rear visibility and they clear the front seats when folding the rear seat down.

Love it. Thanks for sharing. Every inch counts with that small rear window.

Hmmmm ok.

Its a TRUCK. You don't use your rear window like you need to in a car, you use your side mirrors. What are you going to do when you have a high load or a flipped-up tonneau cover in the way?

Nice. I don't need them to fold down but I like the idea!

The more visibility the better (I like it!) That's my #1 reason for not getting a tonneau cover that blocks the back window when flipped up.

anyone know of adjustable headrests for front seats on a '22 Hybrid XLT?

Hmmm, I might have to steal the set out of my Daughter's 2018 Escape,,,,,,

Maybe you don’t, but I like to see everything around me. Truck drivers that don’t care about that make me nervous. I’ve seen way too many drivers who think that their “truck” is better than anything else on the road. It’s silly, no, it’s stupid not to care about other drivers.

I love it.
But I don’t think that I will find the Pier Gray.?. Maybe?

That's an odd objection. You use every advantage you have under every circumstance to increase your awareness of what's around. There are 3 mirrors installed on the truck... This is increasing the utility of one of them. When you have cargo, okay, you are limited to driver/pax mirrors and you make do...

I like it. Not sure I'll go through the reuphostering effort with having ordered the BAP...

WOW, great idea! My rear seat headrests have been stored behind the seat wrapped in paper bags since i arrived home in it from the dealership two years ago.
And they haven't moved, in two years i have never had a rear seat passenger.

I love this idea. I am wondering if there are any other headrests that might fit too, in order to solve the locking tab incompatibility. Our Mav spends much of it’s time with the headrests off, due to one of it’s drivers being short, and liking the better visibility. But we have to always carry the headrests with us in case we do have a back seat passenger.

Having said that, the Escape headrests look very similar to the Mav’s stock ones, and our existing neoprene seat covers might just fit.

I don’t think the Mavi headrest block too much rear view, but I always want more. I like to see EVERYTHING around me when I drive.
