You can see the two adjustment buttons of the removed front seat headrest, which are inserted into the backrest of the Tharu. 5.

Removing the front seat headrests of the Volkswagen Tharu is actually quite simple. I often do small repairs myself, and the method is to reach over from the back seat. You'll notice raised buttons on both sides of the headrest, located on the seat back. Press both buttons simultaneously, then pull the headrest upwards with a bit of force—it will loosen and come out. If it gets stuck sometimes, don't yank it forcefully; first check if the buttons aren't pressed all the way or if there's debris blocking the mechanism inside the seat. Remember to turn off and park the vehicle before starting to avoid distracted driving. Once removed, cleaning the seats or adding new headrest covers becomes much easier, and the increased rear space makes it more convenient to place bags or pets. Regular maintenance can extend the headrest's lifespan and save you trips to the repair shop. The whole process takes just a minute, but for first-timers, checking the manual diagrams for reference adds peace of mind.
