Yes there must be a way as my car has aftermarket screens fitted and they still go up and down electrically

Mutley has not monitored this forum since April 2013.
I guess this means that he is no longer interested, great shame.
Does anyone have a contact number or address for him?
The photos would be a great help.

What make are the ones you have delboy ,what size screens and so on , the 9 inch screens ones say the headrest total width is 300 mm .....will they look a bit bulky do you think ??
could you post some pictures up if you get time so i get an idea how it all looks in the car .
Many thanks Lee

I found these pictures, if they are of use, in Google cache.

Thanks Matt,
They do give a better idea of what is involved.
One of the photos show a wire coming out the bottom of the support column. One of the sellers did write that his cables had small connectors that would fit through the supports.

its unlikely if they are like mine, the two supports are in fact one U shaped piece in a loop, i did see one done where they had cut a corner of off the u shape (not sure if its mutleys) and fed wires down, but i dont think they are wide enough for anything but a cable and i decided that the most important thing was the safety , cutting in must have weakened them i opted to let the wire just go down beside the strut
