Is anyone selling, or, knows someone who is selling a pair of rear headrests in Buckskin for my p5b Coupe?
If all else fails I will of course look to get ones of a different colour and get them treated
Cheers

Cheers for the quick reply and the Ebay prompt
Yeah I think you're right that they were only meant for saloons but quite a few owners have stuck them in coupe's
I'll just get my rear passengers to lie across the seats!
Cheers

Wadhams once had some made to fit Coupes - trimmed in leather in choice of colour

You can fit them but what you will find is that they sit close/touching the screen. It also pushes the seat back and puts tension on the screws which hold it to the frame. If they break free it shows an unsightly gap.

As far as I am aware they (rear headrests) were only ever originally listed for saloons. I always assumed that it was primarily because the backrest on the coupes was at a different angle to that on a saloon, thus making the fitting different. They can obviously be made to fit, as others appear to have done it, but, as Colin has said, I would also think that they would be very close to the actual screen and would probably significantly reduce rear visibility due to the angle of the screen.

cheers for these replies fella's, it all helps.
I suppose I was contemplating purely for asthetics and not soley for head support!
Colin, you make a strong point to consider re the possible breakage of the holding screws.
By the way, do any of you know the best way to educate a paperboy to leave his bike at the end of your drive and not cycle within an inch of the P5 and more to the point, an inch of his life!!
Cheers

Cheers Andrew I've seen things that can be used for that purpose. Research has shown that they accelerate the learning process so that only one lesson is required. You can probably get them in the UK. I think they are called Rottweilers. |

Hi for what its worth I bought some rear headrests for our p5b coupe from J R Wadhams for 100 pounds They do all the colours .They fit very easily they just sit over the back seat. The only problem is they can move around abit if going around tightish corners Im thinking a velcro dot to keep in place
Hope this helps.

I just fitted Wadhams headrests and used self adhesive strips of velcro to hold them in place. I also had to modify one to fit around the rear seat belts.
