I was detailing the inside of my car yesterday and as i tilted the passenger headrest forward, a plastic piece on the backside snapped off and the all the flaps that are tucked inside have come un-done and now i can't get it back together. I might try and epoxy the plastic piece back, then try to fold everything up but i just don't see how to do it.

Hey:

Same thing happened to my headrest.

Any input very greatly appreciated.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, and have (at least in theory) developed a plan to repair it.

The upper flap of leather tucks under that broken part (at least it used to).
Before it broke off, it was attached the width of the seat angled out for the leather to fit underneath.

If I use small screws I can put the bottom piece of leather back to the headrest. I'll bend up a thin T-shaped strip, mount the wide part along with the bottom leather. Then I'll bend the straight part back towards the floor, tuck the upper leather underneath it, then tap the thing as flat as it can get without damaging the headrest.

Can anyone think of a better way? I'm all for checking into the options that are available.
