HI guys. I was wondering if I can take out head rest? I want to fold my seats in the back cuz i need some more room, but i tried to take out head rest and it doesn't want to go out. Is it possible? If yes how do you do it ? thanks in advance.

You've got the rabbit so your seats are different. He's got the leather GTI seats.

You can get the rear headrest off on US Spec leather MK V GTI seats. Force is NOT the answer. On the rear headrest, both posts are locked - same lock mechanism on both sides, different trim cap. The second release is hidden beneath the slot on the side that does not appear to have a release button. It does have a button like the other side, but it is hidden underneath the trim cap.

thanks for reminding me, I have to stop at the dealer parts dept today to pick up a piece I ordered. I am going to order three of the caps with button access and replace the ones with the tiny hole. will post back with part number and pics.

Red box added to show the access hole to depress the release.






With tool in release hole.
