1994 Bonneville SE, Trunk & Seat Head Rests

Post by RTH94 »

I have a 1994 Bonneville SE (no rear spoiler), have a couple questions?
1) will the 1996 Bonneville SE; trunk hinges, lid, and torsion rod fit on the 1994?
2) how do I remove the head rests from the front seats on the 1994?

thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

I have definitely seen #1 done on this forum but it has to be at least 10 years ago.

For #2, I found the following for a 97 which should be the same as your 94.

I think the magic formula for the trunk involved moving the outer tails as well, and the understanding that it would contact the bumper cover if left stock.
