Switching the front headrest guide retainers


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a set of invision dual dvd headrests under the impression they would fit my 2011 Edge SEL only to find they are for the F-150, and the posts are 12.7mm in diameter making them too large. Since the posts are the same size as those in the F-150s, I was wondering if it would be possible to switch the headrest guide retainers in my Edge out with some for the F-150 so the posts could slide into the seats. I would normally just return the item and look for something else, but at $350 for the factory dvd headrests, I don't think I'll find a better price! I've already attempted drilling into one of the existing guides, and that hasn't worked.

Look at the service manual, it's impossible to ell. The Guides are different (not just different size) between the two and both insert into a steel channel, more like a short section of steel pipe, which appears to be welded to the top of the seat frame. My guess is the steel portion is larger on the F150 and the F150 guides will not fit into the Edge channels.

 

Only way to be certain is to buy a F150 guide and test it.
