Uh, I'm not going to run to a junkyard to find out. I'm sure someone else here has fitted them. This is why we have the org.

They don't fit. The poles from the headrest that slide into the seat on the 5th gens are too close together.

Just tried swapping the headrests from my '03 into my '96.

Just take them to an upholstery shop. If your cloth/leather is in good shape, they will repad it for you. Did both of mine last summer for $20.
