problems with rear headrests !!!

[Ric 16v]

Iv just put some rear headrests in my car, and Iv pushed the guides down as far as I can but they still sit about 1cm above the seat material !!! is this how they are supposed to be or should I bang them down so they sit flush with the material !!!! cheers

[ignition16]

been havin probs gettin hold of em!
cant find any in scrap yards and Vauxhall want ?10 each! yes ?10 per guide so ?40 for the rear!

whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know how much the headrests are from Vauxhall? My local scrappers is poor for vauxhall parts :(

[ade]

Slim - theyre fcuking expensive - not worth getting new ones - I'm off to me local scrappy this Thursday - if u want a set I'll pic u some up - there were 3 novas in the other week with the mk1 and mk2 headrests.

Let me know

Ade
:D

[Jim]

Thats very good of you Ade. I was after Mk2 headrests in the vauxhall grey that you get in SR interiors.

If you do pick a set up for us, how much would I be looking at and what do you want to do about getting them to me? I'll gladly pay postage, but I can see it being a bit expensive with you living in Glasgow and me living in Milton Keynes :?

If you could find out some prices I'll get back to you.

Cheers again, Jim.

[ade]

nae botha - they had a set of mk2 grey ones last week. I need to go there ne way so if they are there I'll pick em up for ya. Should probably cost about ?105 + ?5 for P&P so ?20 should cover it. I'll let you know on this page and pm ya once I get em (if I do).

Cheers

Ade
:D

[Jim]

ok Ade, nice one, just let us know how much I need to send to you.

Cheers

you need to use belmont sri guides... the nova ones are too long

[Jim]

can they be chopped down Ste?

[ade]

how are the nova guides too long for - a nova? or were they left overs from the Belmont.

If they can be cut down - how much?

10mm ?

Ade
(yet to fit his rear headrests...)

[?Marty?]

?105 ?!! ADE?! i got four for ?10. and in perfect condition.

[Jim]

I think he means ?15. I was shocked when I first saw the price but if you read on he says, ?5 for postage so ?20 in total :)

I hope so anyway :) lol

[ade]

damn you to hell marty you exposed my feindish plan to rip off slimjim!!! :twisted:

:o

Only jokin - yeah meant ?15. Fingers are faster than my eyes when it comes to reading/typing...
