Rear headrests

[WaveyDavey]

Hello all,



I'm just after a favour from you Octavia chaps & chapettes.....



I've been looking in to fitting a rear centre headrest in my Fabia but don't fancy paying the something like £90 for a brand new one. So i've been looking at trying to source a used one and re-upholstering it. Now rather than just looking for fabia one's i wondered if anybody can say if the centre rear headrest in the octavia is the same as the fabia one???


Here's a picture of what i mean.....






Cheers

Dave.

The one in mine is definite not the same as that one shown. Don't have a picture to hand, but all three rear headrests look very similar in the octy (may not be identical, but at a glance you'd say they were, where as the centre is completely different in the picture you show)

One in the middle of my octy is the same as the side two. I generally seem to have the middle one tipped forward as it improves the view in the rear view mirror

Thanks for the replies guys..... Looks like i'll have to keep looking for just a fabia one.




Cheers

I think the centre headrest in the Octy II is closer to the picture you post. But the Octy I headrests are all the same shape at the back.

The Octy estate ones are all the same (and my centre on is absent, so I can see out the back). Don't flame me; I don't carry 3 rear seat passengers ever!

I don't remember an issue in the hatch I hired, but that may mean that there wasn't a rest, or it was different to the side ones.

I took the centre one out of my hatch for the same reason. I've only ever had 4 people in the car at most and if I'm going to be carrying a 5th I'm sure I'll have some prior warning so I'd just stick it back in.
