Default Headrest modification - allows headrest to lower fully

Found this link, on how to fully lower the headrests. http://public.fotki.com/BlueTTop/mods/a4_headrest_mod/

In our A6, you only need to remove one of the "clips" and then push on the side button to fully lower the headrests.

It looks so much better now. I always thought there was something wrong with the headrest design. I hated to see those chrome posts.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/BlueTTop/mods/a4_headrest_mod/">http://public.fotki.com/BlueTTop/mods/a4_headrest_mod/</a</li></ul>

correct headrest height is a safety issue i.e., whiplash

Unless your a midget, I would not make the change. Safety first.

All heads are different anyways. The Audi manual states that the top of the headrest should be between the top of your head and your eye level. Not a problem with me or my wife.

When required, you can still raise the headrest, even with this mod in place. i.e. raise the headrest to a higher position, for those with large heads.

Thanks cause I hated that look with the headrest up a little, i am sure that 1/2 inch on space won't make a big difference when it comes to whiplash. People need to grow up on these forums and quit bashing others that are trying to help. Thats why I don't come on here often.
