How to Install Headrests in the Rear Seats?

Sit inside the car, lean back slightly, and find a comfortable seating position. Use the adjustment button to align the softest part of the headrest with the back of your head, ensuring it is level with your head. Located next to the two support rods of the seat headrest or on the side of the headrest, press the button to adjust the height up or down.

Let me tell you about this properly. Recently, I just helped a friend add rear headrests to his old Jetta. The most crucial part is finding compatible models—first measure the seat insertion hole spacing on Taobao or at auto parts markets. I recommend choosing universal models with height-adjustable locking functions; those with snap-in metal rods are the safest. During installation, you have to remove the entire backrest of the rear seat and use an angle grinder to drill holes in the frame—the holes must align perfectly. Never force them directly into the foam! After installation, I even used a pull tester to check the load-bearing capacity—safety comes first. The most troublesome part of the whole process was sewing the leather covers to hide the cuts—those with clumsy hands should just go to a modification shop to save trouble.
