Has anybody done the rear seat headrest conversion on there Vert?

[ricclee]

Yes. Easy to do

Hey Todd, were you running Mtech 2 lower rockers without the door/fender/quarter upper portions on this vert?

Well I finally did the rear head rest on my Noelle ..



Thanks everybody who posted with the helpful info on my post . I am still learning a lot about my E30 since I came from the VW scene .

Looks quite good. Is that an aftermarket upholstery kit, and if so from where?

I did mine, wish i had a better picture. I think my rears are from an e28 though, they have always looked "big" to me.

Are the headrest brackets same on vert coupe sedans?

I have a set of rear headrests ready to be reupholstered if anyone is interested.




PM me.

I found them to have different post angles but see my note below.

Maybe I got mutant headrests but I found 'vert rear headrests to have different rear post angles. I also had a mix of e30 & E36 headrests around so I may have grabbed an E36 pair by accident.

[968Reckless]

I measured vert headrest I had laying around, they had the skins removed but measured around 4” at the base and 3” at the top. The coupe headrests I measured still have the skins on and measured closer to 4.75” base and 4” at the top. Could just be what I have laying around but my upholstery guy is telling me they’re different.

Headrests do change shape over time so it's hard to tell.
