Cuddle pillows
Has anyone installed cuddle pillows in their G30? I purchased a OEM pair from eBay but can't seem to figure out how to put them on the back seat head rests.

Ha ha, you are sure not the only one to ask this. They are these suede pillows that go to the second or last seats for some models like 7 series and X7. Picture attached as an example.

That is what I'm trying to figure out. They have these straps that appear to need to go somewhere in the headrest but my rear ones don't seem to have them. These are the ones I got

rear headrests in 7 series have a front part that is different from the 5, as they have a hole through which you could pass these fastening straps. There are (chinese) cuddle pillows to be found on aliexpress, which have a longer straps and can be put around the headrest.
With that being said, your solution could be to find something to extend these straps and put them around the headrest. |

Yep -- A whole list of one-liners came to mind until I saw the picture below. I must admit I never used my headrest for, well, resting. --Bob

Made it work using some Velcro tape. Results are good and can't see anything from the back anyway.
