Technical Remove static head rest

[JMTK]

Good morning

I have bought a sheepskin car seat cover, just a little thing:

How to remove the static, fixed headrest?

Had a look around and not found any relevant information.

Many thanks

not easy

there are some variations on seats. So they might not all be the same


but normally you have to take the original cloth off to get to the clips

probably be easier to unpick the seam in the cover

Impossible, my husband has had to cut the fabric to fit so now will be the sewing part. Why do they make it so difficult........

Thanks Koala

Agree. Becky's seats were far from pristine when we bought her - light coloured with lots of dirty marks we couldn't get out - so Mrs J wanted covers. Saw some the next time we were in Lidl. They are surprisingly nice for the price but I gave up trying to get the headrests out,cut the top so it would go over the headrests and Mrs J stitched them neatly back together. They look lovely.

I got some of these in orange for my Panda, great for cars you can't remove the headrest on and fit pretty good, just watch you don't take your eye out when putting the retaining hooks on (slipped out my pliers, hit my eyebrow and made it bleed, too f*****g close!).

I like the idea behind those. Unfortunately Becky's original seat colour is an insipid pale yellowy cream, not all that far from vomit! These covers would leave too much still visible!
