I will bet the reason that these wont work in our '03's is because we dont have rear head rests!!!! I would guess the rear headrests have a plastic "grommet" in the leather for the "posts" to slide through. The only ******* year with out them. I knew I should have held out and bought a new one. Anyways, I have an email in to your guy on eBay seeing if he has some for an '03. Thanks for the information!!!
