Thanks Robbie... this is what I was trying but there seems to be a stop and am trying to figure if there's another release someplace for that. I'll go back at it in the morning.

This item should help by supporting your neck and allowing your head lay back some. I have noticed on longer trips that I wish I had a neck support just for this reason. Now I will.
Thanks SciFion, I'll look into it. That maybe helpful as well. I'd love to hear how they work out for you. (Always nice to have a guinea pig to test things out. Kidding! Thanks for the suggestion and possible solution!)

Ha! Sometimes so does mine because my head is mostly under it! I've tried sitting on a thin cushion and it helps the position (putting me at a better height but am then sort of sitting too high for other stuff). The next attempt was one of those mesh lumbar thingies they sell in Walgreens. Worked good but makes the bottom of the seat feel a bit short in depth.

Tomorrow's another day and this weekend was my first road trip. it's comfortable for around town and short trips but 5-6 hours calls for some neck support of better quality.

Thank you all for your responses and advice. I'll let you know what works or if I find a way to get the headrests to, actually, come off. (reversing them so they are flat instead or tilted forward, not hitting the top of my head in the back, would be the best option if I can do that.

Hey, I'm 5' 3 1/2" it's not that short, lol, or maybe it is. ;D
