Rear Headrests

[Zudnick]

Hello,



Both my rear headrests have broken pieces ratting around inside them. I am planning on replacing both headrests with used parts from an auto recycler.



I have a 2004 with the grey cloth interior. Will the rear headrests from any 2001-2005 grey cloth interior be an exact match? Are the posts all the same? Is the cloth all the same?



Thanks,





Z

I CAN'T confirm if all years of the Gen 1 rear headrests are interchangeable.

They can be a PITA to remove. Some have succeeded without disassembly. GL

Hey,



Thanks for the link... I already got the headrests off with no problem. There's a clip right at the base of the headrest -- you just have to press down on the top of the seat-back to see it. Just grab the clip with a pair of needle nose plyers an pull it out then the rear headrests will slide right out. I'm really glad I didn't have to take the whole seat apart!



I'd still like to know if the grey cloth headrests from any 2001-2005 will fit my 2004. Are all Gen 1 model years the same (posts and cloth)?



Thanks for the help.

Kent- Appears the 2001-02 part numbers are different from the 2003-05. Not sure on colors. GL

Awesome! Thanks. It looks like the search is for 03-05 model years.
