I've been searching but no luck. Anyone know how to remove the head rest (14 way) from the front seats? I want to replace mine with the crest.

From taking a look at mine, I would be surprised if the headrest was removable without removing the seat back cover.

If you keep the button depressed does it not then come free (apologies if you've tried that already) with a yank?

Not sure if having a guy from the US in the car will make that work but, heck, worth a try :)

.... I know, pretty lame, but a slow afternoon!

Anyone knows how to remove the seat back cover? It seems like that is the only way to remove the head rest :(

Looks like I might just have Porsche install it if it comes to having to pull the back off.

You Guys will get a kick out of this. So you do have to remove the back cover to replace it and my stealership said it will cost me $1200 A SEAT! Just for labor!
hard No for sure.

$2400+cost of parts doesn't sound too appealing for a headrest swap ?

Agreed! Well now that that Mod Bug is out my system on to the next hahah
I have had the logos on my headrest for the past few cars and although I like it, I dont think it’s that big of a deal. Consider it money saved….whether you spec’d it or were planning to do it after the fact.

That is crazy! Are they quoting 4+ hours to remove the back cover? I would imagine only 2 screws to remove the headrest after removing the back cover.

Another reason to order the car with crests on headrests. I always do on my P-cars.
