The driver's seat headrest has been a bit wobbly since I got the car - but the other day after it was pulled a little too much by a garage seat cover, something has broken and it's become loose. Some broken black plastic fell out when I poked a finger in and it slops forward when I'm not pushing back on it.

So, I'm wondering whether anyone can guide me on how to remove the headrest so that I can either repair or replace whatever is broken, please? It's the normal headrest, not the posh "comfort" version.... but I can't seem to figure out the way in!

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Jeremy

IIRC you need to remover the seat back to get access.

Sounds like fun.... might delegate to the garage in that case!
