When the headrest is reversed it slantstoward the back so it is a little to far back to be safe.Right now I am using a headrest from a
05 accord which is about an inch and a half back and my head is still hitting it. If I reverse this headrest it is not as slanted back as the CRV headrest but still a little to far back to be safe.I have seen headrest on the Pilot hat have a space in that middle and look to be less angled. I'm not sure what year and if it would fit into the CRVseat.
