Default Low profile rear headrests

Has anyone ordered the low profile euro headrests for a cabrio? Seems like it would really improve rearward visibility!

Headrests | A3, S3 Rear

Nice concept but I can't the webpage to load here at work. Will try from home. I would be interested if they were the same quality as my S3 head rest. More rearward visibility is never a bad thing.

Not sure if you are a cab owner, but visibility out the back window with the already smaller cab window is nearly nil. $445 is for two. I don't think it's crazy unreasonable for the safety aspect, especially for backing out of a spot as I don't have back up camera.

do you think it will interfere with the wind deflector? i have mine installed 90% of the time, and if i had to raise the low profile headrests to accommodate the deflector, it would defeat the purpose.

Yeah, I have the backup camera.
2015 A3 Cab Premium Plus, the camera was a must have.

One of the first things I did when I got my Cab was to improve rear visibility by removing the rear headrests. Given the back seat legroom is so tiny, no one who is tall enough to need the rear headrests could fit back there!

how do we remove the rear head rest?

I tried pulling up all the way and it seems like there is some sort of procedure that needs to be done so that it can be pulled out.
