Added rear-adjustable headrests in my Maruti Alto

Upgrading Rear Passenger Comfort and Safety in My Maruti 2010 Alto

As a frequent traveler who spends most of my time away from home, I cherish the moments I return to my own land and have the opportunity to work on my vehicles. Recently, I've been focusing on upgrading and restoring my 2010 Maruti Alto, and today I'd like to share my experience with installing adjustable rear headrests.

Recognizing the importance of rear passenger comfort and safety, I embarked on this project to enhance the overall driving experience. While the initial installation proved challenging due to the car's budget-friendly construction and materials, I persevered and successfully implemented the adjustable headrests.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the noticeable improvement in rear passenger comfort and safety. This DIY project has not only enhanced the functionality of my vehicle but also provided me with a sense of accomplishment and a deeper connection to my car.

It will be great if you could share more details on how was this carried,including steps and parts involved. I've seen in YouTube videos that metal pieces are normally welded to the seat fram to enable the fitment of such headrests. Was the same process followed here?

I'm not sure what exactly the videos are referring and most of the shops dealers do not share exact process. Will definitely share the step by step process with pictures once I sort the images on my cellphone.
Actually I'm also working at some another project converting the rear drum brakes to disc brakes on the same vehicle so pictures have been a mess as of now.
