Default Can somebody with an 09, please measure...

the distance between the posts on the driver or passenger side rear headrests and also tell me what the diameter of the posts is? I'm wanting to swap out the 09 or 10 headrests with the gigantic ones in my 11. I found an 09 today with the same brown leather and got the vin. Those headrests are only $85 each.

I measured my 2011 at 4 3/8 from center to center on the posts. I don't seem to recall the 2010's being that far apart either. Are you sure about his measurement, please?

Man I'm really sorry. I recorded the measurements wrong in my reply.

This is the corrected measurement center to center.

4 3/8" at the headrest
4 1/2" at the tip of the post
