How to Install a Headrest
- 1). Choose a monitor that will fit into the headrest. Monitors come in many different sizes, but most headrests will not accept anything larger than 7 inches.
- 2). Remove the monitor from the mounting shroud that it is designed to sit in. Center the shroud on the back of the headrest. Mark the spots that the corners of the shroud will be once the monitor is installed with a pencil.
- 3). Draw a pencil line connecting the top left and bottom right corner marks. Draw a second line connecting the top right and bottom left marks. These lines will form an X and will be used as a template for cutting a hole to mount a monitor inside.
- 4). Cut along lines that form the X, starting and stopping each cut 1/4 inch from each end of the line. If done correctly, you should have an X cut in the headrest cover that is slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the mounting shroud. Use the razor knife to remove the foam padding inside of the headrest until the metal frame of the headrest is exposed.
- 5). Stretch the headrest cover at the corners of the mounting hole to accommodate the mounting shroud. Once the shroud is in place, attach it to the metal frame of the headrest with nylon wire ties. The headrest monitor will snap into place. The headrest is now ready to install into the seat. Connect all power and video cables.
