For some reason rear head restraints were most common in that horrid herring bone fabric - that's what mine had on them, and just swapped the covers over. Only difference is that the bit of plastic up the inside (where you can't see it anyway!) is grey rather than black

rests

I thought the fronts had a plastic sleeve on the rod so you have to either chop it off or fit the wider plastic insert into the rear seats to fit the shortened fronts into place?

My rear leathe rheadrests are genuine not recovered items as well - took me about 18 months after fitting trhe setas to find them though.

You are correct Luke, you do also have to cut the plastic outer sleeve back flush to fit the narrower rear seat housings.

I must write that "How To" guide for the main website.
