Hi Guys

Just found the forum after purchasing a 525d recently and enjoyed taking a look - so just wanted to say Hi to everyone.

The reason for the post though was after trying to fit some aftermarket headrest Screen / Monitors. I needed to remove the plastic cover on the back of the front seats (the part that has the pocket for the map holder etc) but although I managed to get the clips off the bottom of the cover can't figure out how to remove the cover completely. I'm not a contortionist so couldn't get my head on the floor low enough to have a look but wondered if anyone else has managed to remove them?

Any help or advice at all would be appreciated, the kids are bugging me to watch the TV's on the next journey out!!!

Thanks!
Guy

This may help you. A member awhile back retorfitted the comfort seat headrests and made a DIY.. showing the plastic seat back off:

This is a start for you, anyway.
