Title: Are Headrest Grommets Available in Colors Somewhere?
Post by: Bernd on April 07, 2010, 14:19:45

I saw the earlier thread on the headrest grommet discussion, so I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but I am wondering if anyone has found a source for colored grommets. Since I am redoing my seats, now is the time to address the issue. I know they have been painted by some members, and I am wondering if the paint is holding up to the friction. My originals are in good shape, so I could just use them if necessary, but I woukld love to match their color to the rest of my now palomino interior.

Thanks!

Have you checked with GAHH or World Upholstery?

Hello Bernd,

If I may give you my recommendation: Keep the originals!
 ;)
There were (are) only three colors available for the original hearest grommets: brown (matching cognac), dark grey and light grey.
Different colors matching the (whatsoever) interior color are definitely not original and some sort of "over-restoration" preparing the car into something that looks like all-in-one-tone as on modern cars.
Keeping the original grommets here is a sign of correct and authentic restoration.

Just my 2 cents ...

Best,
Achim

Hallo Achim.

Was actually by now thinking along the same lines as well, i.e. to just keep them. Thanks for the input!

Tschuesss:)

Are these available in original colors somewhere. I need brown. I checked with GAHH. They did not have these.
Thanks
