Re: headrest replacement options?

Audi headrests are one of their most distingushing features. It is sad to
see the new Audis that do not have the old squares. As far as how effective
they are, well I could not say. Want to see really awful ones? Try a Volvo
240 or 740. I think they would cause more damage to your head than an
airbag.
