In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and remove the front headrest of the BMW X3. First, we get on board the cabin and start raising the headrest by pressing the two buttons found on the top of the backrest; then we proceed to detach the plastic cover on the back of the front seat, accessing the inside, as shown in the video.

At this point, we unscrew the fasteners located under the headrest rods in order to remove it upwards, carrying out the repair or replacement; finally, we reassemble the headrest!
