What you may want to do is start making a "v" in the corners (like you should of been doing from the start) If you go over too much its going to be very hard to cover it up. Just start taking it up little by little. .Hope this helps.

You could actually try super glueing the fabric that's popping out to the foam inside of the headrest. But be careful because the glue can make to fabric hard and glossy. Make sure that it only gets on the material that sits behind the monitor.

Good Luck

I used bonding cement (The kind they sell at kragen) and secured the edges with a hot tip fabric glue gun. Be careful with the bonding cement, once you mix the two chemicals and it dries you'll have a hard time taking it off. Actually, I don't think you'll be able to take it off, but then again... I don't know.

In my setup there was no other option but to have the edges of my screen to come out, but in the end they looked o.k. Here's a picture of it.

P.S. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE OR CRAZY GLUE! You'll cause the plastic to fog.
