Headrest Wobble
Hi Everyone,
I’ve been noticing some small imperfections with my RDX since purchasing it last weekend. One of those is that the driver’s side headrest feels “loose” in it’s socket. Since the RDX has active headrests (doesn’t it?) I’m wondering if there’s an issue with one of the components. A diagram of the seat is attached. Does anyone know what part(s) need to be replaced? The passenger side headrest doesn’t wobble nearly as much if at all.
As a side note, I have a few other issues I want to post about. Should I include those all in one post or make separate posts for each issue?

The passenger and driver active head restraints are a mechanical system. As your lower half of the torso moves back in the seat from a sudden rear end collision an interior tray mounted inside causes the headrest moves forward like a level or seesaw to reduce the distance of how far your head/neck snaps back (hopefully) before hitting the headrest to reduce whiplash. You might have Acura check it out if replacing of parts #5 or #6 don't work.
