    So first off, im pretty sure this happens to every car. the UV rays drys out the top of the back seat and then it rips, like so -

    So i came up with an idea to cover it into a head rest, and began work, got one side finished just 5 minutes ago, and now i dont think i can do much more with my pointer or thumb finger. with every project on this car, i end up with some sort of injury. :huh:

    why didn't i think of that? i've had 2 spare headrests sitting in my back seat since i put the mustang seats in. and i have the same kind of damage. :slap: (on my seat. the damage in my head is a unique case.) Great idea, and you probably just saved me from replacing that back seat later on. Thank you.
