You run the wires down through the metel brackes that lock them in and then you can pop off the back side of the seat there held in by some snaps, just be carefull the break easy. Then take it the whole way down.

Yeah the metel poles. Can you drill um out? There are 4 plastic cheap clips 2 on each side at the edge and a set metel brackets at the top. Pull up and out from the bottom and you will feel them start to pop then pull down so the metel peices let it drop. Be very carefull there cheap.

Yes the metel poles that hold the headrest to the seat. If you don't run the wires down through there your gonna see the wires. Why woun't they fit more others always seem to?

well at first i was gonna call a shop to install them but i said the hell with that and i did it myself......it is VERY easy

On a scale of 1-10 how difficut is it to install the TV's
hmmmmm im gonna say 1 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest...
def. a 1

i took the cloth cover off....then i took the headrest bracket and made some measurments on the foam b4 i cut.....then after making sure everyhting is straight i started cutting using a razor blade.....very easy....then i took out enough foam out so the headrest bracket will fit in nice and snug....after this was done i cut 2 lil slits on the bottom of the headrest so i can shove 2 small thin peices of wood behind the headrest bracket so i can screw the headrest into something to secure it from falling out.......its kinda hard to explain i guess and i dont have any pix....sorry........basically in the end it took about an hour to do the first one only because it was my first time trying this when i start the second one im sure i cna get it done in about 30 min....liek i said not hard at all!!!

well i dont have that much money for expensive tv's but i bought 2 tv's from ebay at 89 $ each. it came with the headrest bracket and its a 5 inch lcd screen....the picture quality is good but with a kenwood tv or a good name brand like that it will be much better......
