tilting headrest?
Hi all,
I was wondering what year TLs have tilting (front to back) front headrests. My 06 6-spd does not have this option, and I'd like to know if I might have the option of swapping with a different year TL. I realy like this option in my wife's BMW.

If you can create this feature, I will buy it from you!!
None of them do, they only go up and down. (at least mine 08 TLS doesn't)
I do miss this feature also from my bmw, but then again, they are not mean to keep you comfortable, but to prevent a whiplash in an accident or hard braking.

it does tilt, just not the way I was hoping for...it goes up (away from you head), and as you tilt, you are really just compensating for height and the move away distance....hope I'm making sense.
In bmw, i could of raised the height straight up, and tilt the headrest towards my head.
But whatever, this is still better than what I had in my 2G

I stand corrected
When I got home last night I went into the garage to check my TL's headrest to see if they tilt. I needed to apply just a bit of force, but they do indeed tilt. Cool. I guess I was being a bit too gentle and just assumed that they didn't tilt.
