It often happens that the headrest gets stuck or comes out of the guides. In this video, you will see how to solve the problem.

It is not a difficult task and does not require special tools, just a bit of practicality. As shown in the video, removing the headrest is very simple.

You need to release the catches at the bottom of the seat, near the car's floor. Loosen the pistons under the headrest and keep them off-axis; use levers to help keep them off-axis so that you can then slide the headrest out. Remember to always keep the pistons off-axis so they do not fall into the seat.
