Title: me again... moving mk5 GTI headrests
Post by: TDIfurby on April 01, 2010, 10:54:47 pm

Now happily running mk5 GTI front seats (SO comfy and supportive!)  in my fabia - but there is one thing which is confusing me and I don't see why it should.....

How the hell do you move the headrests up and down?  I cannot see any logical bit to push/squeeze/bash/break....  As it happens they are in a good position anyway, but would like to know for the future.  Thanks  :driver:

Are you sure TC? Mine do not have this. They have an actual button on the side of the headrest. :confused:

Thanks guys  :happy2:  Not sure how I didn't see those, but then I think at the time I was cursing and swearing at the passenger seat, knelt in the drivers seat, so never saw the button.  Having said that, surprised I never actually felt a button....

There was definitely no collar.

Just out of interest do the rears have the same button on the head rest.  :smiley:

Rears are just normal ones, with the button on the plastic bit attached to the seat (or at least they are on my 05 GTI with Leather).
