Any u lot ever done it? If so how the fcuk did you get the covers back on!

They have plastic runners that go around the edges - copied pattern petty exactly but just dont seem to fit! seems too small.
I know the material the originbals used was a little flexible but not as much as that!

Any help appreciated - I have 4 naked headrests wasting for covers - juyst got a full set today but I want them in my funky material!

:(

its ok - I managed to find a solution to the problem!

:D

A way was shown to me at trax funnily enough - the headrests have bitch plastic bits running around the middle areas - the trick is apparantly to remove these, stich the 2 sides together them trim the edge with some extra material to hide the stitching - fasten this in place and hey presto - good as new - not exactly the same but as good as. Saw many a modified car many on major stands with these tell tale surrounds - almost like an elastic headband!

Just need my material...(its at me mums! :( )
