    Default VK Calais rear head rest mount

    Does anyone know of a way to install a VK calais rear seat with head rests into a Berlina without the metal mounting points attached to the body?

    I dont have those mounting points and everyone that does seems to think they are worth a bloody fortune!!!!!!!!!!

    Your really need the brackets & the plastic inserts, you could try adapting a few from a front seat else keep chasing wreakers, forums etc

    cheers

    either that or an SL/E with headrests or VL calais, how about adapting later model brackets?
