im asking on behalf of me mate, he has a corsa 1400 sport with split folding rear bench, has anyone fitted rear headrests to one of these? is it the same as the nova principle? anything with split folding can have rear headrests? will he have 2 or 3? did the GLS come with rears pre facelift?

press down on the tops of the seats so you can feel the frame underneath the material, feel along the top and you will feel holes present, all ya need is some headrests and the guides out of a scrapp motor and they will slot straight in just gotta make a tiny incision in the fabric to get the guide through

I was just curious as my corsa interior(Sxi/facelift sport) I fitted 3 GLS rear headrests into it,as it was a newer splitfolding affair, just aint seen a corsa with rears b4 except the GLS model

i think u shud have the holes already mate,especially if its split folding,but its hard to garantee, ur corsa is like a new new generation, the switches n buttons etc are all new and in line with the newer astras n veccys,whereas the corsa b is in line with the older veccy and astra n cav as interbreeding parts goes

Hi i have fitted 2 rear headrests with the proper guides (from vauxhall think it was about £15 for 4) into my 97P corsa sport 1.4 16V but im not sure there is the holes for 3 i think there might be though i didn't want to put 3 in anyway since i have only got 2 front headrests from another corsa sport in the back not the proper 3 smaller headrests from the late Corsa B GLS etc below is a link to a picture of my fitted rear headrests tell me what you think.

Can you get the plastic tubes out of any old scrap seat or are they best bought new?

No matey, i didnt spray anything myself, not in terms of panels anyways. I sprayed trims and roof rails myself.
It was purchased for spraying a boot lid, but ive since had a quote off a person who does it for a living that i cant turn down, so leaving it to him
