Do they anything for the front headrests? I could adjust the headrest in my 14' Focus by pulling it forward and if I pulled it all the way forward it would reset it to the furthest position. My headrest is slanted too far foward and is uncomfortable on my commute because it pushes my head forward. Its annoying.

I have no clue. That headrest doesn’t touch my head under normal conditions.

If you want to fix your current ones, take them out and put them in aomething and bend them to a more upright position.

I like to sit more upright also and the headrests pushed my head too. First, i turned them backwards but then you cam never rest your head on them. I pulled them and put them in between the pipes on one of our jeep tube bumpersand then put my knee in the middle and leaned on each one till it looked good. Put it in the seat and tested it out. Had to do one headrest twice but now they are perfect

I saw in a FB group that Escape front headrest fits (and they pivot for adjustment) but could not get a confirmation.

Someone got some handy to do fit check?

Even with the part number stated above, my dealer couldn't tell anything about the item besides that it is a headrest. Is the MB3Z21611A08DC leather or fabric? What is the color?

MB3Z21611A08DC is leather
Here are the headrest options for the 5G Rangers … all variants.

The escape and focus seats are identical, form what i could tell when my wife had 1 2014 escape, a 2015 escape, a 2018 escape, and my son's 2014 focus st and his st1 seat front headrests did not fit into my 2024 ranger seats. i never got to try the leather st3 (recaro) headrests because he already got stationed in another state when i got my truck so i cannot say on the st3 (recaro) seats. the st1 seats and escape seats were identical, other then color, to me.

i still have the st1 seats in the garage so those were the ones i pulled out to test

Picked up the 5G Supercab headrests today - ebony cloth matched perfectly. When folded, you'd have to be very reclined in the front to not have it clear. Stock rests (and whatever recline I'm at) were ~2.5" forward from full back that gravity would drop the seat. Folded 5Gs had another 1.5" clearance - so gain up to about 4" total if you are leaned back enough.

Fronts fully back, you can also remove the folded 5G's without having to lift the rears up at all. Only juts in a hair more than the center rest.

About $85 (CAD) landed at my local dealer for the pair.

Looks like overseas has a low profile version that you don't have to remove to fold the seat down. This might be an option versus looking for the folding one and getting the stitching to match.

If we can figure out the SKU for EU built Rangers, I can try to bring some for trial in my Raptor..

Just so we are all clear, this part from a G5 Ranger fit the back seat of a G6 Ranger?

Yes, I have installed the 5G rear leather folding headrest in my 6G Ranger.

Nice upgrade. Those headrests should have always flipped down.
