General how to remove the head rest

[aditza]

Does anyone know how to remove the head rest from the front seats of a 999cc fiat uno?

 

[custard]

dont know the uno ,but on most cars at the top of the seat where the legs of the headrests go in the seat,there will be clips you either push in or pull out,at the same time pull the headrest up .awkward and sometimes need a BIT of force but it usually works.dont use too much force incase im wrong!!!!!

Have you checked the haynes? Link to download the manual on the main Uno page.

If u unhook the material at the bottom on the back of the seat i think there are some clips that hold the headrests on the seat.

If u look inside the seat with a light or torch u should just be able to unclip them, might be bit awkward mind..

 

[aditza]

I did not find any clips, i did not find anything in Hynes manual about it.

you cant take them off!

y do u want to take them off anyways?

gotta love the uno's

 

[Steven]

Nope, they don't come off at all. They're part of the seat.

Fiat Brava 1.6 HSX, Fiat Uno 1.1 ieS.

I want to take them off just for changing the bonnet on the chairs, and then to put them back.
I just can't change the bonnet, because of the head rest.

 

[Steven]

Sorry, you've lost me. The bonnet covers the engine at the front of the car.

Fiat Brava 1.6 HSX, Fiat Uno 1.1 ieS.

 

[aditza]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean the bonnet from the engine, i was thinking at the cover of seats. Nobody taked off the head rests for changing a seat's cover?

 

[chrisunoman]

There must be a way mate, im getting my seats retrimmed in a couple of weeks so im gonna have to find out.

Im guessing if theres no clips or anything then they must be 'glued' on somehow, maybe 'glued' to some stalks?

Anyone got any ideas???...

Just make a fine hole in the cover. Then it is easy to put the cover over the seats. Then sew it together again. (Ask your girlfriend or mum how to make it look good)

Good luck!

Indeed there is a couple of clips IN the back of the front seats.
You have to dig in and find them.
Had the same problem.
It is a procedure of feeling them and cutting through with a thin blade.

Hey!

Just thought id post a reply to this topic in case anyone else needs to know how the headrests come off like ive needed to

If u unhook the material at the back of the seat and reach up to the top, there are two clips (look like big hair clips) that slide into grooves in the metalrods that are part of the headrest. All you need to do is slide them out and the headrest lifts off

Thought id say, may help someone out if they need to know
