Rear headrests?

Post by Nabstud »

I wouldn’t mind some rear headrests, are they able to be fitted to the standard no-headrest seat or best just to get a complete setup?
Anyone seen anything for sale?

On the W123 you can retro fit them, the moulding and position for the brackets are in the seat frame. Pull the rear top out and look at the frames.

Cheers, I wonder if the 123 and 116 headrests are interchangeable

I've heard from multiple sources that the w116 seats fit in a w123, ( the front seats ) So it's worth a shot.
