Do the headrests have to be all the way up for installation and use?

Sorry for my english, I live in Chile, but the answer is NO. You only need the first tube part of each headrest to fit the barrier
852614
They are up about an inch as the head rest posts are what the barrier is anchored on.

No, you can make it work as long as you can see a little bit of the metal on the headrests. It is VERY difficult to install, however, if you can't raise the headrests a good amount though.

In my Prius V, I did put the rear head rest all the way up. So far so good. It is keeping our rottweiler in the cargo area though she much rather be in my lap.

I raised mine about half way to install, thdn pushed them right back down again. It might depend on what vehicle you are driving though. (Hyundai-Ruscon)

No but there will be a small gap (the same width as the metal bar so about 1/2 inch) where the gate connects to the headrest metal arms

I sold the car that I installed these in years ago, but from what I remember the head rest itself did not tilt. I do remember that it was not an issue at all. They are quite thick and padded.

I actually always install carseats with the headrest removed so the carseat sits more flush. So yes, it works fine with no headrest.

not entirely the arm rest with cup holders and 4 bottom support legs must also be installed manually

Only if the base is extended. In that case you would only have to leave the footrests in the up position.

Yes. I only secure mines by the headrest. Hopefully your dog isn't too big.

No they did not. The installation was supposed to be possibly below counter/ console/ car dash using what came with the car and / or what ever it is being installed in. That's what I was told at the time; so I used them anyway.

Nope! In fact, the headrest stops working pretty quickly and you gotta get creative and fix it:)

No. I have a center headrest and have not used it yet because of that. I probably should have returned it. Very disappointed.

Nope, have to install the whole thing. You can keep you soft top down and manipulate it to put the top back up if you need to. Pain in the ass but you can do it in a jam

Yes they mold to fit all different seats well. Just make sure if your head rest is moveable your ok with not moving it.

I would not recommend these headrests. I have had nothing but problems with mine- In fact I have had to remove one headrest completely because it quit working (would not power up)

As long as you have access to the back of the seat. The top, just loops around the headrest, but the bottom, has to be clipped and adjusted, on the back of the seat!

They should come in the box. Be careful as you are putting the end pieces on. I put mine on backwards and had to take the whole thing apart to fix it so that the backrest would sit properly. The little overhang on the armrest should face the front. The side with the hinges should be on the flush side of the armrests. The directions failed to clarify that. :)

Yes, the front seat needs to be reclined all the way, but you can still use the seat attachment.

The headrests don't need to be removed. As long as the headrests can move up to allow clearance of the mounting brackets (about 1-1.5 inches), you should be able to install this barrier. The headrest support rods themselves are what the mounting brackets anchor to, and as far as I can tell, this configuration will work for most (if not all) SUVs, station wagons, touring wagons, and minivans with a rear bench.

If you're referring to the lack of openings for the headrests, I cut holes for them. As | am a sewer, I thought I'd sew around the edges but it didn't look like a fabric that would unravel, so I just left it. That was quite a few months ago and they're just fine - no problem. If you buy this set, maybe you can tell me how to secure the front seat covers! I am managing with them but they get loose. I have to ask my grandkids how to figure that one out. But I'm happy with them anyway. They do the job.
