I would just like to register a complaint, with what I and apparently Honda of North America consider a safety defect with the 2003 Honda CRV. The center rear headrest restraint is of the same height as the left and right rear headrest on this vehicle. What this does is prevents the driver from being able to have a clear view in the rear view mirror. In order for the driver to have a clear view from the rear view mirror, the head restraint must be removed therefore defeating its safety purpose for the middle passenger in the rear seat. Honda obviously realized this, because the 2005 model has a lower height rear seat middle passenger head restraint, as it should. As a consumer I believe that Honda, should offer owner's of this vehicle, the new updated lower height head restraint for the rear seat middle passenger at no charge to owners of this vehicle.
