No head rests! - Toyota Yaris Forums

mxzebrax · 05-22-2007, 01:29 AM

Hey, I was sitting in my car, and i noticed the visibility out the back isn't very good. At least to other cars that i have driven, so i took out the 3 headrest in the back of the car, and it made a ton of difference.

I was just wondering, has anyone else tried this? If not, next time you have time, take em out and see what you think.

heh, that's the first thing i thought when i drove out the dealer. got used to it though...now when there's 3 passengers sitting in the back, it's hard to see.

I DID THE SAME THING..... i now want to lose that stupid seatbelt thing that hangs from the roof....

That seat belt is the dumbest piece of shit on the car. I am tempted to strip the entire rear like nimble did. I took my head rest and deck board out first thing. All that shit is in the way. Nobody sits back there in mine.

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-22-2007, 02:52 PM

didn't know that the LB's have the same problem...

nobody sits in the back seat of my car either. the FIRST thing i did when i got home with my Yaris was take out that deck board. it's sitting in my garage. and that seatbelt! holy mother of something holy! i HATE that thing. it took me forever to get the actual buckle into it's little house in the roof. i can't stand that middle seat belt thing.

oh you shoved it up in there to hide it? I might try that. I was thinking about cutting the belts out with siccors

kurokoma-kun · 05-22-2007, 04:35 PM

How funny, I was just hatin on mine this morning! I did like Death, finagled rear belt buckle into its house, but belt itself is still in the way...

eco · 05-22-2007, 08:52 PM

I took them out within the first hour,not only to see better,but to reduce useless weight.

gm830 · 05-22-2007, 10:19 PM

i'm confused, because in all the pics i've seen of the interior are like the ones echo posted...how is it hard to see behind you because of the headrest when they are positioned like in the pic?

brickhardmeat · 05-22-2007, 10:22 PM

somebody show this guy what a non 60/40 rear seat looks like

it wasn't impossible to see with my headrest in but you have full view of the rear sheild without, the headrest in the non split seat are small versions of the front headrests notlike the rs model above at all

Cheers

Show off RS

churp · 05-22-2007, 10:53 PM

I didn't get a hard cover to bridge between the seats and the spare cover....is this an option?

Sorry about getting off topic!

Typer73 · 05-22-2007, 11:27 PM

It's there in the 40/60 split seats, I seem to remember it's folded under something. I know it took me a little bit to find it & when I did it was WOW. Mine looks identical to the RS pix shown here (under the carpet).

you got 60/40? also keep in mind this is an rs model.

churp · 05-22-2007, 11:49 PM

Yup, 60/40....and yes it is hinged from the spare cover. Had it just shy of 3 months and it gets nicer every day!!!!! (what else don't I know about it???)

Again sorry about breaking topic!

Typer73 · 05-22-2007, 11:54 PM

Have you found all 20 "hidden" compartments yet?

As for breaking topic, I'm female so it's my right to change my mind or your topic!
