Default 08 JK headrest

What's up with the headrest on the 08's ( I imagine they are the same on 07)? They are hard as a rock and not adjustable. Any replacements availabe?

That description matches my 07, so I guess they are the same. Haven't seen any alternatives though.

Didn't see a 'comfort' package available either.

I also think that they are way too high for the back seats....

I think that the lst model of Grand cherokee headrests were a direct fit for replacement. it hink that the 09-04 ones should fit.

Depends on who you have sitting back there. If you have an adult back there, they are the right height. If you have a kid, they might be too high, but that is much better than being too low.

The forward angle is a design to prevent neck injury from collisions.
