why?...doesn't the front match the rear?

won't work. the rear headrests have a "flat bar" type holder vs. the "twin rod" holder on the front seats.
well...maybe you could make it work but it would be a hack.

From what I remember in previous posts, the hardware is different. Installing rears requires the brackets designed for the rear headrest specific hardware. You need to cut holes in the rear seat and install plastic hole covers.Originally Posted by joe maniqz
I always figured you could probably custom make some sort of brackets to hold front headrests in the back, but I didn't want to be the first to try it.
If you use the search function on this forum or look at bmwe34.net you'll find exactly how others installed the rear desined headrests.

The rear headrests are comletely different to the front ones... They are smaller and a different shape, also they fit differently as has been mentioned. I'll take a pic of mine if you like.
sure...would love to see a pic...was this an option in our cars?
