Has anyone removed their rear headrests?
i removed my ugly middle headrest just because it looked dumb. But my buddy removed all three of his in his Audi. It did look kind of cool. does anyone agree? i thought i might look a little weird. I might try it this weekend.

I immediately removed all three. Per the manual you must first fold the seats down to do this. The vision out the rear window is 100% improved, as well as those ugly things sticking up!!

I removed all three no one sits back there anyway.. I can see better and the seats fold down without hitting the back of the front seats

The old analog Salter scale has been reassigned to the bathroom.

Fear not, you can buy your own here -> http://www.amazon.com/Salter-200-Aca.../dp/B0000U6EZA
