RE: How to tighten headrest-urq



Quite honestly, I like the seats in my 81 Scirocco S alot better. I can
lower it more and the passenger seat can be lowered too whereas the
Quattro passenger seat will not. I also find that when I do get the seat
the way I like it the only about half the seat back contacts my back! Oh
well.....
