I have taken the clips out on the driver side head rest. This way I can take the head rest out so that the door closes better when you have the driver seat turned 90 degrees. I do not feel there is a safety issue. I am 6' and even with the headrest all the way done I feel safe that it will protect my cheese head :-) Hans Cumberland, Ontario 86 Westfalia (Slow Poke) 92 Cabriolet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bradley Flubacher" <flub@ADELPHIA.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 12:19 AM Subject: Headrests- SAFETY CONCERN!
