I just bought a 2007 and I'm so short the headrest top arch hits the crown of my head and is very uncomfortable. Does it feel better to have them backwards and how easy was it to remove them?I just bought a 2007 and I'm so short the headrest top arch hits the crown of my head and is very uncomfortable.

Remove headrest, there is a small button on the base of the headrest mount you need to push in. Next pull up the strap at the front of the seat cushion bottom, then flip forward. Press in the flipper on the top of the seat back and pull forward.
I turned my headrests backward. Worked great. In fact, I wonder if the engineers designed them that way but the production guys build them backward??? 1) Tilt the seat way back to allow room to remove headrests, 2) Press and hold both headrest release tabs at the same time and have someone else pull out the headrest completely, 3) turn the headrests backward and insert into the two headrest guide slots (headrests fit the same either way). 4) No more pain in the neck !!! Caution: I do not know what this does for whiplash injury protection but it seems OK for my own comfort with the solution. And it beats the pain in the neck caused by the bass-akwards design.
I had the same problem with mine for the first month I drove it. Already having a herniated disc in my neck didn't help. What I did was unzip the back of the seat cover and insert some foam into the back of the seat. This pushed the front of the seat out enough to keep my head from being pushed forward by the slanted headrest. The headrest is still right behind my head but it is no longer pushed forward painfully. You can't tell that I did anything to the seat from looking at it, but now it's comfortable and I love my Civic.
Okay so im just going to start from the seat being upright in a normal riding position.
1. You need to fold the head rests first. Pull the black tab under both headrests. They should spring into a folded position.
2. pull the side seat lever (on the door side of the seat). This will fold the top/back support down to an angle.
3. There is one more lever on the backside of this seat. Its in plain sight on the angled portion of your seat. Lift the big plastic lever.
4. While keeping the handle lifted, grasp the back of the seat and pull it torwards the front of the car. The seat should come unlocked and roll forward and down more towards the floor. If you have a bunch of junk on the floor, it obviously wont work. clear the path and the seat will fold completely flat.
Also, your drivers seat and front passenger seat cannot be all the way back, they need to come forward some in order for the second row seats' head rests to clear and fold flat.
Finally found someone after 40 years, that believes a 5th grader could design a vehicle.
I have told my wife, that I would fire most all design engineers,ever hired since 1960. You can't even remove an oil filter, for the last 45 years,let alone see it.
I have 47 years,some professional, and can't believe what these maufactures are thinking.
Iam about to do a ground up 60's resto, and never drive drive a high tech vehicle again. And I understand the technology and have no problem repairing them.
Same proceedure as front headrests but tilt the back of the seats forward about halfway. Push the little clip in on top of the seat, by the chrome rail, pull the headrest up and slide out of the hole. Push the back of the seat back, lift up the bottom seat and tilt forward. Lay the back seats down. Done.
I know five (5) people who purchased the 2009 or 2010 Expedition. All
100% of them have complaints of the headrest hurting their neck. I
know folks that won't even drive their new 2010 Expedition because it
hurts their necks, and the dealer won't take it back! If enough people
tell ford about the problem, erhaps Ford will post a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB)
to tell dealers how to fix the problem. It is possible to build safe
headrests that do not hurt necks during normal driving: just look at
the competition. The headrest is not the right equipment to sacrifice
comfort. Neck pain causes distraction and is a safety issue. Ford
should be as concerned about liability from wrecks caused by headrest
pian distractions as they are about the rear impact safety. Complain
to Ford!
do the rear seats have a recline functin ,slide seat forward , should be handle below the seat, try lowering seat and then slowly raise , this may give a better sitting angle
Im doing the same thing.. Push the headrest full forward, then lift hard to get past last indent in pole.. This worked for the front as well.. i also could not find a hole to push
