    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Just a quick question i need help on cos iv literally no way of finding out here where i am!

im from the uk,and we wont have the genesis for at least another year IF we even get it at all(we are RHD).
im sure some of you will have seen and heard of me before im daz the dupleman and im the guy who stitches hyundai embroidered headrests
iv been asked if i can embroider genesis headrests with a design for a customer who had a tiburon and is now buying a genesis
the question is: can the leather headrest covers on the genesis be removed the same as the tiburon ones?
I know hyundai uses injection moulding on cloth seats and the covers cant be removed.so can the leather ones be removed?
if you know for sure or are willing to look please let me know.it will lead on to a stitched headrest design for the genesis
obviously im not going to be rude enough to post links here to my stuff but here is a quick look at what i do.if i can do them il contact admin about advertising the design.if your interested in what i do whack my username into google

Once the sun comes up I'll go and check them out as well as take some pictures for you and post them here.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Here they are. If you need any more just let me know. There are no zippers and I'm not quite sure how or if you can even remove it.





 
mate your an absolute hero.you've just shown me exactly what i wanted to see which is the seal at the bottom.that means they are not injection molded and that in turn means they can be embroidered.if you feel daring,see that split at the bottom? that runs across? gently slide your fingers under the left or right corner and tell me if you can see plastic,but im sure they can be done.thank you
 
Sorry for the late response. Duty called. Anyway, here is another picture with me trying to stuff my finger in there. There is a black plastic piece just to the right of my finger.



There looks to be two small black plastic pieces on the sides and one large black plastic piece that runs the length in the middle. I could get my fingers in there but it wasn't easy. I would almost say that the black plastic piece actually hooks the front and back leather pieces together. I was going to try and unhook them but fearing I'd never get them back together I decided not to.
 
no need mate that tells me exactly what i wanted to know which is they are removable.the plastic is a clip which holds a stiffened edge which slots into it which means its removable and therefore embroidery can be done!:cool:happy days keep your eyes open in next six months for a genesis headrest design!
