If the front seat headrest vibrates or moves, it is likely that the internal support structure has failed: you can replace it by removing the old headrest and transferring the padding and cover to the new structure. First, slide the old headrest off the seat by pressing the side locks of the plastic clips, then detach the cover by removing the fixing rod located at the lower joint and remove the foam padding: on the old structure, you will notice the failure of the spring seat.

Next, apply the padding and cover to the new structure and reposition the headrest in the seat.
