Well, that makes me feel better in a weird way.
Funny you should ask.
The rear seat in my VDP is in excellent condition. The front seats, however, need a little bit of love. They're not cracked, just really worn in a couple of spots and what they really need is some dye. But I can't match the color off the shelf.
I trust my shoe guy pretty much implicitly and he's worked with seat leather before. He'll make me what I need, but I need to give him a sample to match the color. He suggested a headrest if they'll just pop out.
That way I could just leave it with him and go pick up the color later in the week.
Knowing that the headrests don't just pop out, I just need to find another option. Not a huge deal, I just want to get the color right.

Don't suppose there's enough back there to replace the side-bolster panel in the squab, is there? I first misread this one, not noting it was "rear" headrests...and was thinking, "Hope these guys get it sorted, I'm gonna need to get the headrest off in order to skin the driver's seat and take it for repair..." but looked in the manual, and apparently, to remove the pwr operated front ones, you just give a stiff yank. We'll see when i get to that...I have to peel both fronts to replace the htr blankets, but only need to separate the cover from one for panel replacement. (Don't NEED to, I guess, just would rather haul in the skin vice the whole seat)
