Hi, can anyone tell me how the headrests on a Cinq Sporting front seats are removed? I assumed they would be like any normal headrest and just pull out but mine don't move no matter how hard I pull, are they jammed or is there a specific method for removing them? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

Fiat says that you must turn 90° both support of headrest and then push it out.

I'd never take a look, but I think that at Sporting versions those support are inside the seat fabric, because they are different that Fiat manual picture's ones, take a look carefully.

Next days I'll dismantle one of my seat that it's broken to recuperate the fabric so I'll take a look and say you how it's made.

Look at this (sorry, in French):



If you do it before me, please puts some pictures here to let see how it's made.

good answer!!

Hi again,

I take a look and that I wrote it's not valid for Sporting versions.

At Sporting version you must dismount the textile fabric and you'll find two small clamps you must push outside to avoid headrest free. Look:

One of these clamps (other it's symmetric):




The clamp attach the headrest here:




I'm sorry, but my first answer it's only for standard versions :bang:

Thank you for the answer and for taking the trouble to dismantle a seat to show me. I won't probably try it for a while.

you 'might' be able to get your hand up inside the seat to release the pin

you'll have to partially lift the seat cover though...

Thanks, I may have a go at that.
