Maruti Eeco - "My Family's Car" Buying and Ownership Review

[jayesh]

Hi jayesh, Do use a cover also the small pieces of crackers may damage the paint finish.

Totally agree with you sir,

This was for just one picture that my son wanted.I usually move her away when children are bursting crackers. I park her in the empty ground near my place where no one comes and bring her back as soon as children have finished their job of bursting crackers.

here are the pictures of attachments that i received with head rest

 

[jayesh]

I did remove the original seat cover to have a look at the seat on which I wish to fit the headrests.
This is the middle row seat of EECO 7 str.

As you can see there are no drilled holes for the head rest.
I have three options in my mind right now:
1. do the fitting like varun did in his 800
2.Drill holes on the frame
3. cut the pipe get the holes done and re fit the same pipe.

Need your valuable suggestions....

Mine had a steel sheet welded with a rod. I have welded 2 square pieces to mount the adjusters.

 

[jayesh]

VArun ,

Do the adjusters fit and lock into the square piece that you have welded on the seat?

(here is the picture of your cars seat with the pieces welded)

 

[Varun560061]

Yes. they do lock when the head rest is inserted into the holders / adjusters..

 

[jayesh]

VArun,
You mean that the length of the square pieces of metal should smaller than the length of the holder/ adjuster.
for example--

Whai I want to know is this..The holder.adjuster fits inside the square piece that you have welded, am I right?
I will be going to the body repair shop tomorrow and will discuss with him.

 

[jayesh]

Finally I got the head restrainers fitted for my EECO.

I will let the pictures do the talking..
The middle row,

the last row seat


Testing the head restrainers

 

[jayesh]

Had to paint the welded parts to prevent them from rusting...
1. Materials used,

2. After applying primer.

3. after two coats of black oil paint.
