Re: head rests

there's a button on one or both of the plastic bits under the headrest. on my GF's 2000 model there are 2 buttons, but thats a sporting so i cant be 100% sure its exactly the same as yours.

Re: head rests

if its like mk1 punto rubber headrests and cinqs, you have to pull that big fabric staple off the bottom of the back part of the seat, pull all the fabric and padding away, then you can remove a metal C clip job and this allows you to take the headrest off.

BUT its very very very hard to get the seat padding/material back together correctly, and to get the staple thing back on, not a chance, need two people with tiny vietnameese hands
