Same here. The Vanagon seats seem like they're "optimized" for a height range of 5'2"-5'9". Now that I look at the pics, I think the seat back is taller for the EV seat too. At 6'2", the stock headrest rides uncomfortably low on me, even fully extended. I suspect the Eurovan headrest might be better in a rear-ender too, being high enough to actually stop my head from flipping back.
