Default Rear seat headrests. 2015 JKU ??

Hi, I have a new Ultd. Wife is angry that there is no center headrest on the 2nd row. I see others have asked about this in the past but could not find if anyone came up with a fix. Has anyone figured out how to add and/or install a 3rd head rest? Also if anyone that has removed their left and right ones would like to sell one and the mechanism, let me know.

Thanks
Mike

You'd have to build something into the top of the seat for the headrest to attach to. Unfortunately you can't just poke it into the top of the seat and call it a day.

Default How did it go?

ugmw177 how did it go putting in the parts to do a center headrest? Where did you find the parts needed? I have been looking everywhere, please let be know.

My guess would be getting a seat, seat frame, from a wrecking yard, then cutting out the headrest bracket then wire welding it into the original seat, would take some cutting and splicing, but would work.
one draw back could be the center headrest blocking the rearview mirror view
