Removal of rear headrest
Has anyone been able to remove the rear headrest in the coupe? Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you sure it's possible? I too need to install child seats in the rear that has the tether anchors. The anchors are there, but you'll crush the top of the seat if you tighten it.
According to the GC manual, the rear headrests do not move at all Last edited by Flying Ace; 12-24-2017 at 09:14 PM.. |

You are right, they don’t come out in the GC. For the coupe, see https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...ormal/F3BngjcK

I had the same issue in my X5 and M3 recently as I was swapping car seats. BMW generally are a firm tug upward to remove. You might have to jiggle it to dislodge it.
That side I could only get 1 side off my X5.

Tried so hard and eventually gave up. Your headrests are doomed by the pressure of the seat strap. Just accept it.

you guys 100% sure they come out? As I said, on my M3 the instructions clearly said they do not. And on the X5 only the center seat does not. BMW is very good at describing whether it does or not in the manual.

Old thread but it helped me out - yes you can remove headrests, my kids seats fit much better with them removed. One side came out with a sharp tug, the other I had to hit up with the palm of my hand.
