It supports your head, of course, but it’s more than just comfort. It’s designed to reduce whiplash in a rear – end collision. It cradles your head and helps keep it from snapping back too far, too fast. Newer ones also often have active safety features, sometimes even moving forward to minimize impact. It’s a crucial part of the vehicle’s overall safety system. It’s not something the car can really function safely without. It’s usually attached to the seat frame, and there's an adjustment mechanism allowing passengers of different heights to get the proper support. It’s considered a restraint, like your seatbelt, working to protect you in a crash. Well, you’ll notice if yours is broken or missing pretty quickly. Beyond comfort, it's there for real protection. In a rear impact, that headrest acts like a shield, minimizing the risk of neck injuries. If you've been in even a minor fender – bender, it's a good idea to check yours and replace it if it’s damaged. You can find replacements pretty easily – we carry a good selection here, and places like Fixparts Online have them too. It's a relatively inexpensive part that offers a big safety benefit, so it’s worth keeping in good condition. More than just a part: Head Restraint (MPN 7E5881901AA96W) includes a 12-month warranty!
