Head rests

<< < (2/3) > >>

smith335:
all 90 seats have removable bases.
the early 90s had the same seats as the series 3.and if you had head rests then they would not move.
but the later 90s had different seats all together and the head rests should move.
one way to tell is if the bottom of the seat base is metel then you have the later type, if its wood on the bottom of the seat then it could be the early type.
hope this helps

Thanks Aaron - my seats have been recovered I think but the base is metal.

So from what you say brute force ought to shift the head rest - will it just pull out eventually?

smith335:
have a look at my pics under new project.
theres some pics of the old type seats. these dont have movable head rests.
if yours dont have the same bases as mine then your head rests should move.

hope this clears it up a bit.

drmike:
Aaron I'm being dense but I can't find your new project!

I'm sure that on my 1985 90 the headrest was bolted in one position to the seat back. Take off the rear plastic cover from the seat and have a look. It's not a hard job, IIRC they are just clipped on.
I took mine off to replace the cover on the seat back & they weren't the same as the type Aaron had fitted.
