front head rests

[mikem]

I have leather seats in my car and the rear headrests are easily removed via a button on the top of the seat.
There is no such button on the front seats so the question is can they be taken off and if so what is the trick?

 

[mikem]

Is that a no then

In not sure on the 6th gen but they do come of on the 7th&8th gen.
Perhaps they need a bit of persuasion :lol:

Try twisting the headrest guides whilst puling the headrest up.

Did try that but did not want to break anything so only did it gently. do not think it budged at all.

is there a button or is there a trick?

Random question Mike, but any chance of a pic of what the clip bit looks like? I'd have thought that if the headrest is height adjustable then they will come out.

Just been and removed mine by turning the plastic guide by a quarter of a turn.
Could be easier with a second pair of hands to pull the headrest up and using a pair of snipe nosed pliers to fit under the head of the guide to grip the stem and turn it.
Just turn the guide before pulling up on the headrest.
