I've read complaints about the headrests on several Nissan models (I've also seen this on other brands as well). IMO, they are angled too far forward. I don't like to feel the headrest touch the back of my head. I understand they are supposedly designed this way in case of rear-end collisions, but it's annoying. Is there an aftermarket headrest available that tilts? Some owners have recommended just turning the headrests backwards. This works, but now they are angled a little too far back.

this is one negative on the Rogue when compared to the competition we are cross-shopping. Every other CUV we've looked at has better headrests or at least a better angle.

Have you looked into bending the headrest posts some? Try to take out about 5* or so. In pictures, it looks like they are angled 15* and with them NOT being adjustable, angle wise, you are stuck with them and the uncomfortable position it put your head and neck in. I guess no one told Nissan you can be safe AND comfortable at the same time and not have to sacrifice one over the other.
