206 GTi Headrests - HELP?!?!

#1: 206 GTi Headrests - HELP?!?! Author: introthejj, Location: Kent PostPosted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 12:18 pm

Hi people, am new here but need some help..

I've not long bought a 206 GTi 51 plate.. The car came with no rear headrests but has the caps over the holes where the headrests should be.

I've managed to source headrests, but think i'm being a little dim as i cant work out how to get the caps off without forcing them, and also want to know if once i get the caps off, will the headrests slot straight in??

Thanks in advance for any help, got a feeling i'll be on here a lot more trying to get help...

Thanks very much!!

I had caps in mine. Im pretty sure they're solid so you may need to remov the whole unit/seats to get headrest holes in the rear.

Rear headrests only hinder seeing out the back, but my caps wouldnt come out either.

I've forced one of the caps off and there is a metal tube there but i dont know if this means that the rear headrest will fit..??

I know it can hinder the view out the back window but think the car looks smarter with them..

Cheers..

i thought this when i bought my 2000 plate gti.

i pulled the caps out and tried one of the front headrest in the holes, yes it fits, but its not a tight fit so it just rattles about and is not secure.

so you would idelly need to make something m=for them to fit into snuggly or get some front seat headrest holders and make them fit Smile
