Deadly mod!

Postby rgsSpider » 22 Nov 2012 23:56

I found these on eBay and was intrigued as my seatbelt always feels like its sawing away at my neck. (This is the pic from the auction, not as installed on my 7)

Thought it would be a simple enough install, and mostly is was. The instructions mention that the headrests may be difficult to pull out but just give them a good yank. I did. The first one came out after a few good yanks...and hit me square in the jaw. Guess I shouldn't have had my face in the way. The second one came out with only two good yanks, slipped out of my hands, flew into the air, and was heading right for the paint job on the boot lid. I dove to catch it and caught it, and landed right on top of the rim where the top snaps down...cracking a rib. Have you gathered that I'm a little accident prone, at least when it comes to myself?

I think these look pretty good, don't look too aftermarket, and do a great job! They seem to be really well made and sturdy enough for the job.

Yep essential bit.

But tell me, have you ever thought of paying someone to do this work for you? It might be cheaper than the medical bills.

Headrests tend to do that. Never seen that mod before. Have seen the other alternative, the padded covers that fit on the seat belt strap.

Yea, but when you are fix en them holes in the soft top the head rest stalk just made you'll probably stab a hole in your finger with the needle...[B)]
