Folding Rear Headrests Installed

[RDRahn]

Someone in this thread mentioned using rear headrests from a C-Max. So... This past weekend, I "borrowed" one from my wife's 2017 C-Max and it fit perfectly in the rear of my Mav. As someone else mentioned it does not lock when fully down as the notch in the rod is a bit smaller, but it is not going anywhere. I would think any C-Max rear headrests would work as the C-Max was a pretty short model production (2013-18).

Quickly put it back before my wife noticed...

Some people are just willing to put their life in danger to help others. Thanks.

Thank you @MadeSmall for figuring this out and posting it. The difference in visibility is worth it. I got mine from a local salvage yard and picked up an additional set if anyone has an interest (my post is in the for sale section here).

This is cool and something I had planned on doing but seeing they don't fold totally down I think I'm going to skip it. Thanks for the photos!

I wish they folded flat down against the seat like in many mini cans back seats.

I've since installed a rear view camera in the back can window. I highly recommend. Covers unimpeded view, cargo view, and blind spots.

I just did this modification for more visibility. It is a great and easy mod and it matches perfectly with my XL seats. I picked up the Escape folding rear headrests on eBay. Funny enough the 2023 and 2024 escapes don't have the folding rear headrests anymore...

So make sure you buy ones that do indeed fold! From a 2017-2022 Escape I believe

in two years i have never had a rear seat passenger.

I can't even fathom that. I have no children and I always have rear seat passengers. Interesting how differently we all live.

Hope the 2025 Maverick has these. Probably won't though.. lol
