    So I have had this 2003 for a month or so and today noticed that the metal bar on my hedrest was protruding out of the foam. It wasnt very visible with the cover on but man would that hurt to get rear ended and have my head slam into that!

    Anyays I managed to put it back in its place and hopefully secure it from moving again. If you get the chance maybe feel yours also and make sure its not like mine was!
