Removing the headrest from the Volkswagen Golf 7 is a simple operation that can be done in seconds. First, push the headrest as far as possible outward, then lower the seat cover, remove the plastic cover, and use a screwdriver to push the headrest outward; this should be done simultaneously on both rods.

Finally, remove the headrest. To remove the other headrests, repeat the same operation.

Once the necessary maintenance on the seats is complete, reinsert the headrest.
