| Description of the problem | Dt: about 4 weeks ago, the consumer noticed the seat head rest were clearly in the way, which left the consumer not being able to see . The only visibility when looking back was by looking between the head rests. The head rests were so big they obstructed the consumers view. The manufacturer stated there were no other seats and it wasn't possible to remove the headrests. The owner noticed that there were new headrests available on 2006 solara, but since toyota did not publish this information there was nothing they can do about this. Owner would like to locate alternate head rests for vehicle. *jb |
