Fitting rear head rests

Nanda

Need to figure out how to fit down rear head rests in my 240. Didn’t come with any but has the holes to fit them. Any ideas?

Geez it's been yonks ... and there may also be multiple types, the ones I've played with (over 20 years ago) was for the earlier style of headrest which you could also fit cushions into.

From memory there's a pole/leg on each side of the headrest which pokes through the parcel-shelf & you screw to the back of the seat. I think there are also some trim pieces which screw to the top of the parcel-shelf somehow, just to make it look neater (this is where it's getting really hazy but I think maybe the legs poke through the trim-piece I'm talking about).

Forg I forgot to mention that I do have the headrests and the little pieces that make it look nice and flush. It’s just a matter of securing them

You’re not sure how to attach the headrests, or the trim, or both?

I can only remember the two posts on each headrest which screw into the back of the seat … no recollection on how that trim attaches. Having seen James’ post after this, I should reiterate - I’ve only seen the early headrests, the link below are later and while I may be mis-remembering, I do think the later ones differ (and the link’s great if that’s what you have).

There's supposed to be a plastic tab inside the boot that they slot into and which holds them in place.

jamesinc I see. Well I don’t think I have any of the plastic tabs.
