Hi,
I saw the post from bleudyno about the retrofit of comfort headrests to sport seats.
I want to do the same on my car, but the problem I have, is that my seats are not sport seats, but standard seats (without any electrical adjustement of headrests).
How can I upgrade my manual standard headrests with confort headrests ?
Thanks for your help,
Xavier

Hi
As you can see on the pitcur it can be done , but it's a "heck" of a job
, you have to take the roundbar's from your old headrest's and make them fit into the comfortseat headrest's , meaning take off the leather ,refit the roundbar's and then again fit the leather, perhaps you also ( like I ) have to get some bushing's worked to compensate for difference in the diameter of the roundbar's ( thy on the comfortseat headrest's are thicker ).

Hi
I did buy mine at BMW i Flensburg/Germany , price ca. 250USD a pice. ( 2 = ca. 500USD )
But you can perhaps get some at E-bay , or a scrap yard.
