    Guys

    I really need help, No jokes please.............

    Trying to fit a new integrated headrest DVD player into the front seat of my A4. I cant get the whole headrest to come out and have no idea where all the clips are for the back protectors.

    Please help, Will buy anyone a pint at the GTI International this weekend to save my little boy getting board during the long 6 hour journey

    Thanks

    I tried getting the head rest out too but it keeps hitting the roof before the metal prongs clear the seat

    Anyway seatback panel is shown here:




    3 metal prongs are at the top of the panel, should unclip from these (with some force) and then the plastic clips at the bottom should slide up.

    Have you tried reclining the seat back before removing the headrest?

    Thx guys, Pretty sure I can get the back of now, But how do you take the Headrests out, Will remember to recline the seats.

    So far I have pulled the headrest out to the max and removed the little plastic bases, On the one without the 1/2 moon push in out I have removed the clip. Not sure what to do with the 1/2 moon one or if they are just meant to come off now.

    How do I get them off from here. Hoping to fit the DVD player this afternoon before the long drive to the GTI Intnerational over the next 2 days.

    On my drivers seat the seat back is loose at the bottom. Would I be right in thinking if I just pull at the top it will release from the three prongs and then I can re-fit it.

    I would say yes, Looks like the clips at the bottom have popped out.
