XT6 Headrests Retrofit Onto EA82 Seats?


Recommended Posts

So I've been eyeing up a set of XT6 headrests for my EA82 seats, but dunno if the XT6 headrests come off the seats or not? I can't seem to remove them.

 

If they do come out, will they fit onto an EA82 seat? Are the metal dowels spaced apart that same width?

 

Cheers,

-Tom

I removed the headrests from a pair of XT seats just last week. Feel around with your fingers and one of the "posts" will have a wire clip thingee. I used needle nose pliers and twisted that clip and that freed the headrest. Don't know if that was the correct procedure to remove them but it worked for me.

Alright, thanks for that answer! Maybe I can finally get them to come off at last :)

 

 

I am hoping the width of the XT headrest posts are the same as the EA82 seats, I know EJ headrests have a wider stance and don't fit in the holes.
