I bought my 2010 TDI Sportwagen in large part because it was one of the few vehicles of that vintage in which I could sit up straight with my straight arm driving style and not have my head pushed forward by the head restraint bolster. For various reasons, I am now considering selling the 2010 Sportwagen back to VW as part of the settlement and would like to replace it with a slightly newer, lower mileage TDI Sportwagen. The problem is that apparently starting in 2011, Volkswagen joined most other vehicle manufacturers in setting the head restraint bolster so that it projects several inches forward of the top of the seat back. I simply refuse to drive with my head pitched forward that way. Does anyone know what would be required to swap the 2010 seats into a later model TDI Sportwagen? Or is there some other way to move the head restraint bolster back a few inches?
Thanks.
Thanks.
