Thoughts? To rear headrest or not to read headrest?

If you have accident without them, you will have neck issues that will stay for rest of life possibly. When i was much younger prob 6 months old, our car at the time didnt came with headrests (89 renault broadway, had them as optional). We got rearended by someone prob 25 mph and since then my moms neck hurts, if she rides shotgun with me and i jerked the manual it will hurt. So id say put em back if you plan on having rear passengers

Yes, that's the only one that was removed. In order to release the rod, you have raise the headrest and then stick a small "mechanical" flat tip screwdriver to push into the slot of the left base (looking at the headrest). Then the whole thing will release.

Like I mentioned before, once the headrest is removed, you can pick up a pair of plastic push-in plugs to fill the hole. I couldn't find any that will seat into the opening hole so I used super glue underneath the plugs and pressed each one onto the base.

What I meant was I dont see the release slot on my middle one :iono:

I can remove the others easily doing this

I had removed the back two in my mk5 and again in my mk6, then I think I put them back. I don't even think about it in the Audi tho.. I don't know, doesnt seem to bother me anymore... #gettingold

I removed all three as well, though I keep two of them in my hatch god forbid I have passengers in the back. Rear visibility is SO much better.

Yea passengers def need them... I sat in the back of my car with them removed and I don't even want to know what would happen in a rear end collision...

Agreed, thats why I keep them where I can put them back in quickly. My cousin pulled his out of his tacoma and I've ridden in the back of it quite a few times. Always makes me feel uncomfortable so I know that feeling.


I took a pic of what it looks like through my rear view mirror, nevermind the super cluttered garage or the fact that the back of my car is on ramps.

Get a broadway mirror, it makes a huge difference.
