2005 Toyota Camry Solara Seats Problems

“This vehicle has convertible seats, both front seats and head rests are too large. This causes poor visibility, consumer unable to see properly. Consumer tool vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic claimed that the vehicle was operating as designed. ....Toyota refused to do anything to lower rear seat head rests. They restricted visibility by 1/2 through rear window.”

“I recently purchased a 2005 Toyota solara convertible. When I purchased the car, it was great weather, so I had the top down the would time I test drove vehicle. . It was only after I purchased it and put the top up that I realized that the visibility out the rear mirror of the car was awful. I've had 2 other Toyota convertible previously, and recognize that visibility is not the best through the rear-view mirror due to the smallish convertible windows. …”

“This complaint is in regard to the design, rather than a manufacturing defect. The 2006 Toyota solara convertible has a smallish rear window built into the convertible top (as most convertibles do). However, Toyota takes this to the extreme by having two large headrests on the rear seat that blocks over half of the visibility to the rear window. These headrests are fixed, and so the driver has no choice but to live with a very narrow view out the rear window. …”

“Dt: about 4 weeks ago, the consumer noticed the seat head rest were clearly in the way, which left the consumer not being able to see . The only visibility when looking back was by looking between the head rests. The head rests were so big they obstructed the consumers view. The manufacturer stated there were no other seats and it wasn't possible to remove the headrests. The owner noticed that there were new headrests available on 2006 solara, but since Toyota did not publish this information there was nothing they can do about this. Owner would like to locate alternate head rests for vehicle.”
