You will need the headrest pin inserts (from Vauxhall, not sure of part number) and find the hole in your rear seat units. Cut and inset, then slot in your headrests. Hey presto...

Thats if your seats have the holes. I'm not sure all Nova rear seats came with them??!!

PS styling forum next time ;)

Why not just take all that is needed from a knackered pair of seats? None of the back seats had holes

[Pistol Pete]

/\ You sure?? I had the holes in mine, just had to "feel" along and then a small cut and insert the headrest pin tube thingys.

All 60/40 have the guide, no Novas had holes pre cut for them.

As said, get guides, push guides in, get headrest. sorted 5 min job.

i think, you can just make holes in the right location, and from what i undersdtad you might hit sa bit of metal, so drill a hole, then if you like put the guides in. or just use them with out guides.

Easy.

Buts its hard to find the right guides as they need to be for a mk2 astra cdx (rear ones) or a belmont (again rear)

Push your thumb in to the top of the seat you'll feel the holes in the metal as they are all ready there. No need to drill anything. You'll need to make a hole in the cover tho, i did it with a screw driver, streaching the hole open, then push the guide in so it was streached tight.

As i've said in your other thread.
The head rests can be from the front. But the guides you need need to be rears, other wises they wont fit.
Gsi seats have the holes as do sr seats.

are they a standard fit in some or are all the ones u see had them put in because i have had 3 gsi and not one had back head rests

[peter gsi]

think they were put in but looked like they were ment to be. can you use any other rear guides

[peter gsi]

thanks mate what about mk 3 rear guides

[peter gsi]

how do the guides come out

[peter gsi]

how do the guides come out

[brainsnova]

they are akward to get out if your keeping the seat but if not a screwdriver in the front and one in the back and this will release them from the seat.
