Anyone have a leather interior in their Golf??
« on: 13 April 2009, 22:58 »
I just fitted a (what I can only assume by the seller's description) original mk2 leather interior. Only thing is...the rear headrests are forwards at a really funny angle. Are they supposed to be like this, or is there any way I can remedy this??

It may be that they are fronts, had a chat about rear head rests with ...joe a few days ago, you may be able to heat them up and bend them.

Mine has factory leather head rests and they do tilt forward quite a bit - they are not in line with the seat backs in any case.

yeah sounds like front headrests on the back, the posts are angled forward. ben thats a MK3 rear bench aint it, not really a good comparison ;)

This is my rear bench, I swapped all the frames over from another bench, part numbers were checked to make sure it was all proper MK2 gear:
