E30 headrests question help?

Post by TopCat »

Dear Experts
I have been trying to find some black leather rear headrests for my E30 Hartge (call me sad!)

I may have found some

thing is they are from a convertible

So my questions:
1 Would a rear convertible set fit my 2 door saloon-- they have different part numbers on Real OEM?
2 Would the front headrests fit the rear- as these are more commonly found?

grateful for advice

The stitching/piping on convertibles is different.

The front and rear headrests are the same

Thanks all for the info

I have some rear headrests but in cloth with a fixing kit but since I have Recaro LSs the headrests are different!

I got my brackets from Ebay, those you have to screw in the rear of the backseat. As it turns out, in the E28, I had the same. Ik stripped down two old chairs from an e30 touring, for the pipes and caps and I placed two e25 headrest, after swapping the pins inside the headrests. It all fits, but thats in my e30 convertible.
Front headrests fit indeed, I'm not sure that e30's with recaro's came with also recaro headrests in the back...
It's the man next door!
