Description of the problem	I recently purchased a 2005 toyota solara convertible. When i purchased the car, it was great weather, so i had the top down the would time i test drove vehicle. . It was only after i purchased it and put the top up that i realized that the visibility out the rear mirror of the car was awful. I've had 2 other toyota convertible previously, and recognize that visibility is not the best through the rear-view mirror due to the smallish convertible windows. However, with the 2005 solara, toyota has put very large head rests on the rear seats that make the visibility significantly worse than my two toyota celicas. With those head rests (which surprisingly are not removable or adjustable), the visibility out the rear mirror is effectively limited to a 1 foot by 1 foot square. This means that lane changes must be performed almost exclusively by looking out side mirrors in order to avoid blind spots. Parallel parking is absolutely out of the question because you can't see the right rear of the car at all. I talked to toyota, and was told that others who had driven the car had also expressed the same concern, but that the rear head rests were not removable or adjustable. That was as far as they were willing to go with the discussion. I believe the head rests should be made at least a few inches shorter and slightly narrower. This would improve the visibility significantly. Please let me know what can be done to improve this visibility issue.*ak
