| Front Seat Head Restraint problems |
Headrest guides are no longer available from manufacturer (Ford or Nissan). The guide itself is a cheaply built plastic sleeve which breaks easily (I've been through several in my nine years of ownership). Unfortunately, the headrest cannot be secured to the seat without them!!.
