Let's see how to remove the headrest in a first-generation Audi Q5. In this model, the headrest release is hidden inside the seat. To remove it, fully raise the headrest and locate the hidden button at the base of the posts, inside the backrest shell.

Press the button with your fingers and, while holding it down, pull the headrest upward until it is completely removed. To reinstall it, align the posts with the seat guides and push down until you hear the locking click.

This system allows you to adjust, remove, or replace the headrest without disassembling parts of the seat.
