    Will backseat with headrests fit into a cabrio..?

    Will backseats with headrests (which from what I understand are in all four door E30s?) fit into the back seat of a cabrio? I've been wanting a back seat with headrest in my vert for a while. Looks dope IMO. I know the space in the back is smaller in verts so I was wondering how people pull this off.

    Vision issues through the rear windown? Yes. Fitment issues? No

      Your cabrio rear seat already has the mounting holes for the rear headreasts built in. All you need to do is buy a pair of headrests and mounting brackets - you can find them all the time on eBay for under $100 for the pair + the needed mounting brackets. Then all you need to do is remove the rear seat, bolt the bracket into the holes already on the rear of the seat, and (the hard part) carefully cut a hole in the leather for the headrests to mount into.

      A rear sear from a hardtop will not fit in a cabrio... but if you find one in a junkyard, the headrests and brackets will - yank them off the rear seat of the junker!

      I have no visibility issues with the top up or down, but the rear headrests can rub on the rear window and leave a mark where the edges of the headrests hit the plastic window as you put it up or down...

      ...but damn do they look sweet!
