Headrest keeps rising up

This may just be me, but I thought I'd throw it out and see what you all thought.

The driver's headrest on my CX-5 GT seems over-eager to move up. It's like the slightest bump from my head will push it up to the next notch. Then the bulge on the front starts pushing on the back of my head instead of fitting behind my next and it's sort of annoying. I can't really reach that little push tab to lower it again while driving.

I'm thinking maybe I could increase the friction on the posts. I have some of the 3M paint protector edging for doors left over which might be about the right thickness for a bit of grippy interference.

Hmm... I also just tried switching with the passenger seat which seems a bit stiffer. Maybe very gently bending the post outward or something would make them fit worse and do the trick.

I was wondering the same thing, the headrest has three(??) notches in it but it only locks in on the highest setting. Every time you put pressure on the headrest, if you stretch,twist or getting in if you slide against it, it moves up and locks on the highest position. I like mine a little lower but it won't lock in on those positions. Its a minor annoyance. Is this the way they all are or are some headrest posts maybe not made correctly?
