Abstract
A seating assembly for a vehicle includes a first seatback having a first headrest. A second seatback has a second headrest. A crossmember is disposed along an upper portion of the seating assembly and extends seatback-laterally between the first seatback and the second seatback. A first receiver is disposed in the upper portion of the seating assembly and is configured to guide the first headrest in a seatback-rearward direction to connect the first headrest with the first seatback. A second receiver is disposed in the upper portion of the seating assembly and is configured to guide the second headrest in the seatback-rearward direction to connect the second headrest with the second seatback. At least one support member operably couples the first receiver and the second receiver with the crossmember.
