Do the 2002 TL models have adjustable head rests? By adjustable I mean forward and backward. If so, can they be retrofitted to a 2001 TL?

 

As many on this list have discovered, the headrests in the '02 TL-S do *not* tilt forward, despite the manual saying they do. I'm not sure if this is also true for the TL-Ps. As for a retrofit, if the TL-Ps don't tilt then the point is moot.

 

The TLP's headrests do tilt. As for whether they fit or not, best bet is to go to a dealer and try it out.

 

Do the TL-P headrests look like the 99-01 TL or do they look like the 2002 TL-S?

 

The Seats are the same, as far as I know..

They look like the 99-01 models, not the TL-S.

 

Hey Tim , assuming they fit, how much can you get the TL-P tilting leather headrests for? I really hate putting my head all they way back to get support.

 

yea tilting is alot better but the type-s headrests are the best lookin headrests i've seen in production cars... its sporty, kinda makes u think if they did it on purpose to make an "A"

 

You're kidding me?!?! Why would the eliminate that feature for the type-s?? It sounds like it's a different head rest, but it doesn't make sense.

 

?? What?? The 00 head rests tilt?? How? I tried to figure it out when i got my car and couldn't do it...lemee go and check this out now....

 

No 2002 TL has head rests that tilt. The non Type S. I wanted to put them on my 2000 Inspire. I hate the fact that I have to put my head back to touch the head rest.

 

I never actually use the headrests. I think the notches in metal bar that goes into the seat in my TL-S aren't cut right b/c it only fully locks in one position and it seems kinda loose. Is there something wrong w/ my car or does everyone have this?

 

only one of the 2 sides has the locking mechanism. We all have the same thing.

 

yeah, but do your headrests have a lot of side-to-side play when they're locked in?

 

Only if I move them myself. They don't move by themeselves if that is what you mean.

 

a'ight....well, I'll check it out on sunday at the meet. Thanks.

 

just got back from my dealer (Rallye Acura) cause my D**N heated seats had to be fixed... anyway, i checked the 02 TL-P and they do tilt forward and then i asked for a price... $250.00 each! I told him to forget it. Tim, what do you think?

 

I've heard of expensive parts but there is no f^&kin way that part costs 250. He must have looked at the whole back part

 

We're looking into it.

 

So how much does it really cost?

 

The only problem with the tilt headrests, is I find when any pressure is put on them with youre head, the tilt goes backwards. Is their any way to lock them in place?

 

Will the TL-S head rest fit 2000 TL?

 

Why would you do that? It wold kill the look of the seat, IMHO...
Ed

 

will it? Does the 2002 tl have the seat looking like the type s ones? with them holes?

 

What do you mean ed? Who sees the seat while you're driving? I will put it back up when Im done if I'm not too lazy lol

 

They dont fit. The notches are on the wrong side. Plus it doesn't match the shape of the 2000 Seat. I tried

 

We are interested in the TL-p seats for 99-01 TL. It is clear the TL-S seat is a different seat all together. Do you know if the TL-P headrest will fit the 99-01s

 

The 3.2TL headrests have been added to site and are listed under Accessories.

 

HOLY COW!!! $175 each.....that's crazy!
Guess I can live with my non-tilting headrests.

 

I heard that RL headrests will fit TLs as well... can anyone confirm this?
