Removing the headrests on BMW X5 is really simple, and in this short tutorial, you will learn how to do it. First, get a plastic trim tool to avoid damaging the seat fabric while you work. As you can see, the headrests are inserted into the seat thanks to the two columns: now, with the trim tool, pry under the right round plastic clip.

Once this piece is lifted, remove the metal clip. At this point, press the button located at the base of the other column and pull the headrest upward, removing it from its seat.

Done!
