Head rests

(1/3) > >>

drmike:
My B reg 90 has head rests on the front seats. How do I get theM;

1   To go up and down
2   To come off

Sounds like a dumb question but I can't shift them at all.

TIA

Mike

smith335:
depends on the seat type.if you have a lever to recline the seat the head rest should move, but if you dont,then you may have the early type.
if the seat bases are like series seat bases then the head rests wont move.
as thats what i have in mine.
hope this helps

drmike:
Dang - I have a lever to recline but the seat base lifts out like a series.

I am reaching out for the hacksaw as I think this will be the only way to 'adjust' the head rest. I have fitted a truck cab and the head rest stops teh seat going back as much as it needs to.

Well... if they are anything like mine... the up/down action is carefully controlled by grabbing it and pushing or pulling it up / down as required.

Removing them is slightly more technical in that you have to pull a bit harder until they come out completely  :shock:


The above is true of both sets of 90 seats I have, both of which have removable bases

drmike:
Well I tried brute force and belting with the heel of my hand but they didn't budge at all although they looked as though they should. Usually there is some catch or you waggle it some way to allow up and down but I suppose we are talking LR.

I may try belting it with a mallet. I'd rather take it out then cut it off but I'm not that fussy when it comes down to it.
