MK4 Superb-Front headrest removal?

Featured Replies

Has anyone had any success at removing the front headrests on the MK4 Superb yet? I have attempted methods described on previous/other Skoda models but with no luck, so either it is different or I am doing it wrong. (It could be the latter) 🫣

If it is anything like some other VW group models, got to find the button under the material (about 2 or 3 inches down at the back) and give it a hard push, but as it's relatively small (not much bigger than one fingertip size) if you try and push it with two fingers can't get it to go in far enough to release because end up trying to push the surrounding part too.

Best done by raising headrest a bit so you can put thumb other side, and try and clamp it in a sort of pincer movement whilst sitting in the back

The other thing is use your other hand to move headrest upwards, but don't try and move it up until button is fully in, otherwise doesn't seem to unlatch, and you will end up fumbling around without success.

Finally, to fully extract it, will normally need to tilt seat back a bit, otherwise it hits ceiling.

Thanks, I have tried my best with the above guidance.

According to the dealer, the front headrests cannot be removed on the MK4. Be interested to know if others have been told/shown otherwise.
