As it's been impossible to source a plus headrest, would it be possible for someone to make a replica?

A broken grab handle has been slowly slicing away at the headrest to both the original and now the replacement. Please note I wouldn't have let it get that bad but was like this when I bought it.

If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Drill the rivet and get shot of the grab handle. I am sure the damaged headrest could be re-trimmed.

Will do, already have the replacement but need to sort the headrest.
The cars mint and low milage but this lets it down and need sorting before I sell it.

You could try talking to Joe at Trimdelux. Sure you could remove and post him the item for repair.
