It's a safety of life issue, so the airline will generally be quite strict and you should be too.

If 16F is available, best option IMO is to buy a seat and request 16F.
If 16F is not available or you don't want to buy another seat, get one of your seats moved to one of the sides or row 17.

Priorities, they may not want to spend the money.
