Product Information
Full details
This guide is for drivers using non-containment Kirkey aluminum seats who want to enhance head and neck safety. The primary benefit is increased side support for the head, significantly reducing the risk of injury during heavy cornering or side impacts. A key consideration is that these supports are optional and require separate purchase of black vinyl covers for improved aesthetics and water resistance.

FAQs
Are these head supports compatible with all Kirkey seats?
No, these supports are specifically designed for non-containment Kirkey aluminum seats only.
Do I need to purchase anything else for installation?
Installation hardware is typically included. However, optional black vinyl covers for aesthetics and water resistance are sold separately.
How do these supports improve safety?
They increase side support for the head, reducing movement during cornering and mitigating the risk of head and neck injuries during side impacts by absorbing some of the impact force.
Can I adjust the position of the head supports?
Basic adjustability may be possible during the initial mounting process depending on the seat design. Refer to the installation instructions for details on mounting options.
What is the material of the head supports?
They are constructed from the same high-grade aluminum as Kirkey seats and feature an impact-absorbing foam pad.
How should I clean the head supports?
The aluminum can be wiped with a damp cloth. If vinyl covers are installed, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the benefit of the optional vinyl covers?
The optional black vinyl covers offer improved aesthetics and provide water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Supports do not align with seat mounting points
Verify that your seat is a non-containment Kirkey aluminum seat model. Confirm you are using the correct mounting hardware for your specific seat and support combination. Consult the installation manual or Kirkey support.
Excessive movement or rattling
Ensure all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Check that the foam pad is properly seated and not compromised.
Head feels too restricted
The purpose is to increase support. If it feels overly restrictive for your driving style or vehicle, consider if the support's position or angle can be slightly adjusted during installation, or if alternative support options are more suitable.
