Looking back on the work, do you think it might have been possible to install HRs without "undressing" the seatback to get access to the innerds and frame? ...by feeling around and locating mounting tubes, cutting holes for access, and doing the rest of work externally? This is the way the retrofit instructions presented it (Fig. 3), and it would sure make for a lot less work! I'd be interested in your experience...I'll certainly link this thread in my article: http://www.sw-em.com/headrest_upgrading_notes.htm

Cheers from Connecticut!
hi Ron,

i'd be reluctant to try putting the tube in without pulling the covers off. the plastic bit at the top of the tube is a lot wider than the hole you're cutting, so you'd probably end up ripping the vinyl.. tbh it only took an hour or so per side, and is not beyond the reach of any person who owns a classic.
