Has anyone personally installed headrest monitors in cloth bucket seats?

 

nope, but ive seen it done alot of times, i assume you mean video monitors?</P>


USUALLY the headrests are bought with the monitors already installed. theyre an after market headrest, but ive seen some that clamp on to the headrest posts too. they do make some that are made specifically to mount into the headrest but ive only seen it done once, and the guy that did it couldnt stop telling me what a cramp in the *** it was. if youre willing to tackle it im sure i can track him down if you need advice </P>

 

i have seen them installed several times. If they are done by someone who knows what they are doing they turn out great. You can also buy replacement headrests with them already built in. I was going to do this but you cant add them to racing seats.

every day on the bottom of the head rest is were you would want to start break the stitches and pull the material of after that it pretty much easy to do</P>

 

Nothing to it just like SpolidSport says. </P>


I normally put the bezel in the headrest to give the monitor a better look, but either way.</P>


Line up the monitor on the headrest where you want it.</P>


Mark the headrest take a sharp razor blade come in about 1/2 to 3/4 inch from your marks and cut an X from corner to corner these will revel the foam backing. </P>


Remove enough foam to make a pocket to put the bezel in.</P>


Once you have it where you want it put the bezel behind the fabic in the pocket you created fold the fabric into the bezel and pop in the monitor it should be snug at this point if not you may need to take a screw and run it into the metal plate of the head rest if there is one or run a piece of back strap around the head rest post and attach the bezel to the back strap. But 90% of the time just fitting the bezel into the foam and poping in the monitor works just fine that is the way mine are and I have had no problems.</P>
