Headrest question

[marbs]

When noone is sitting in the passenger seat the head rest likes to rattle. I was wondering what I can do to stop it. It is VERY annoying.

Stop squeaks and rattles from the headrests...
John Witherspoon says:

I complained to my dealer that my passenger headrest was rattling quite a bit when there was nobody in the RF seat. They used 2 each of part numbers FOOY-54610A18-A (retainer) and F2DZ-54610A16-A (sleeve) and now there's no more rattling! And it was all covered under warranty! Everybody who's been cramming paper wads down in there to stop the noise take heart. Sit in a '96 and check the headrests -- Ford installed the cure for them at the factory.

Hope this helps...

he's just wrong on the quantity.... here is something I wrote up over at TCCOA:

Headrest Rattle:
you need two of these PER SEAT:
f2dz*54610a16*a @ $6.50 each

if you want to replace the caps at the same time, you'll need one of these for PER CAR:
fooy*54610a18*a @ 9.32 for a pack of four. not listed in singles.

if they ask you want car you have, tell them a 90 SHO. for some reason the thunderbird ones are not listed. These will work for all LX and SC/SHO seats in all thunderbirds and 89-95 tauri.
