I've owned Macans for over 6yrs, but didn't know this tip as seen on Facebook...

No, not at all. Just didn't know it moves forward and back.

Unfortunate that we don't all have that 20:20 recollection like Andreas, isn't it? It'd be interesting to know if his wife considers his memory to be that good :lol:

You don't need a wonderful memory to know how to adjust a wretched headrest! As it happens, my wife has always been in awe of my useless general knowledge. And I'll overlook the barbed insults in your comment.

No barb, nor insult really, I wouldn't, have found your posts too helpful, interesting and constructive, until this one that is :D I was just pointing out that none of is are perfect and if one of us notices a useful little thing that we'd overlooked or forgotten (and I wouldn't bet against the "fm" having the odd gap) and decide to flag it up to others then being harangued with the knee jerk "rtffm" seems a bit harsh. I'd take a different line if some dope posts a question about how to adjust the driver's seat though!
