    Default Head Rest Removal?? How??

    This sounds so stupid but how do you remove the head rests. I have a set of VS ones i got given and wanna put them in instead of the Vns horribly uncomfortable ones. So whats the process? Cheers

    As in... The top bits of the front seats? =/
    They just pull out. I've done it accidently before on my dad's old VT, then they just click back in.
    (if thats what you were refering to)

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    Hmm... I can't remember how I did it, I pulled them up kinda of hard, maybe while on a bit of an angle? I'm not sure if theyd be different in the VT's but they came off without any real effort.

    But wait... There's more!!

    There must be a way... surely. Just don't go and wreck your back trying to pull them out
    Tommorow someone with all the know-how should fill ya in.
    Strange though, I thought surely they'd just pull out =/

    Had the same problem with VP ones. Turns out that where the "rod" goes into the seat there is a plastic surround, which may be under the material.
    This plastic surround has a fine horizontal slot around one end. Use a thin blade to push out a spring-clip from the slot, which is what stops the headrest rod comming all the way out. Reinstall the clip when finished.
    Hope that makes sense.

    yank it from side to side and try and loosen them....eg pull up but push side to side at the same time. also the bit that locks them into place could be stuffed. sorry didn't read all of the above post....
