Default Headrests

HI
Well cant believe it , my dog had chewed the back of my leather seat ive tried to find a replacement seat v40, but all want to sell full set, so guess what i went and bought some leather seat covers on offer at argos and when i went to remove the front headrests they wouldnt move but the rear ones have the removable ones is it me or they just fixed on.

There are two pressure point on the seat (See attached image) that you need to feel with your fingers by pressing on the leather gently. WHen you find htem, you need to push them and they should release the headrest.

What year and colour are your leather seats? I will be splitting a complete set soon and will be able to sell some bits separately.

I will pm you my email address so we can communicate there, as you have less than 30 posts and can't send PMs yet.
