Hi

 

I had the same problem when fitting my headrest screens :unsure: . I solved it by buying 3 headrests (I fit 3 screens) from the scrappers. As I remember they came from a Transit. Then after I had fit the screen mounts to them I had them recovered at the local car upholsters, I even had some fold up covers with Velcro at the bottom attached to the headrest to cover the screen for extra security. The Headrests where only

I have a 2003 model with the small doughnut headrests. I too found it a problem to have sreens fitted.

 

In the end, a local car upholsterer managed to butcher them and re trim them with 6.5 inch widesreen monitors. The only problem was that it cost me

thanks dally i have been to a car place today he as told me he would not cut the headrest as they were designed to take so much strain in case of a accident.

 

so its looking like i will be putting my new screens on ebay and buy a roof mounted screen but that is not what i wanted :unsure:

I take it you have the "doughnut" headrests - different ones are fitted if you have the factory-fit LCD screens in the headrests - and apparently these come with protective covers to hide the screens when parked etc. Could be worth trying scrapyards etc for some of these? Also try some other car multimedia specialists to see what they recommend.

Many quality in car entertainment outlets are offering this service now.

 

The structural integrity of the headrest has not been changed, basically they have been padded out to increase their size to accomodate and allow fixing of the monitors.

 

I couldn't fit a roof monitor because of my dual ac vents despite trying many configurations and besides, my 8 year old was looking virtually vertically with crooked neck at a roof monitor. Also, having the two screens means that one can watch a dvd and the other can play on her psone.

 

Good luck with your choice, whatever it may be.
