Cheap Seatbacks or what?
 

Has anyone noticed that when you push your head back into the headrest, the seatback pushes out towards you around the area of your shoulderblades? I noticed this when I first got the car, and my guess is that it's cheap engineering of the upper seatback allowing the headrest rails/sheaths to move when the headrests are flexed.

its to help with whip lash if you get into a accident

And I thought the purpose of the active head restraint was to block my field of view for when I'm trying to back up.lol

Thanks for the posts. Looks like I'm just experiencing the active headrests in reverse.

My wife had the same question. I also assume that it is the active head restraints.

I wish the headrest would adjust backwards a bit, it pushes my head too far forward with a helmet on. I tried removing it altogether but that didn't feel good either.

I had the same issue when I drove an Audi RS4 and R8 on a racetrack. Stock seats just aren't designed for helmet use apparently.
