How to Remove the Headrest of a Changan Car Seat?

First, unscrew the two plastic rings under the headrest, then use a thin screwdriver to pry open the headrest along the metal rod. After prying it open with force, you will see a small iron ring inside. Insert the screwdriver and gently pull outward while turning counterclockwise. At the same time, hold the headrest and lift it upward to find one side of the iron rod pried out. Repeat the same process for the other side. Then, the headrest can be removed.

I recently removed the headrest from my Changan car and wanted to share some tips. Generally, there's a small button or latch on the seat headrest. You'll need to locate it first at the top of the seatback—it might be hidden on either side or in the middle. Press that button while firmly pulling the headrest upward, and it will release. If it's your first time doing this, don’t rush—last time I was in a hurry and nearly hurt my hand. Most Changan models have clearly designed buttons, but for older models or different trims, the button might be positioned lower or more concealed. It’s best to do this while parked to avoid distractions. I removed the headrest to clean off some stains and check its structure; when storing it, avoid tossing it around—place it on a flat surface to prevent deformation. If the button gets stuck, try lightly spraying some lubricant or checking the user manual for guidance—don’t force it. Remembering this small task can save you a trip to the repair shop.

As a regular car owner who frequently maintains my vehicle, I believe safety comes first when removing headrests. The headrests in Changan models are typically released by pressing a button. You can easily locate a small button or handle at the top of the seatback, gently press it down, and then lift the headrest upward with moderate force to detach it. I recommend performing this operation with the vehicle turned off to avoid any unexpected disturbances. Reasons for removal might include replacing the headrest or cleaning it, but avoid attempting this on bumpy roads. If the button doesn’t work, don’t panic—it could be due to dust buildup or aging mechanisms. Try wiping it with a soft cloth or checking for any damage to the button. After removal, avoid placing the headrest directly on the ground; use a cloth to prevent scratches. The process is simple but requires attention to detail. I’ve done it multiple times without issues and wanted to share this with friends who might have similar needs.

Removing the headrest of a Changan car is quite straightforward, and I often help friends with this. The headrest is fixed on the pillars, and there's a hidden button located above the seat—just press the button and pull upward. If you can't find the button, check the user manual or online videos, as Changan models usually have easily operable buttons. I remove it when adjusting the seat height or washing the fabric covers, and after removal, it's a good opportunity to clean the dust in the backrest gaps. The whole process isn't complicated, so don't stress about it.

The method to remove the headrest of my Changan is: First, locate a button at the top of the seat back, which may be slightly protruding or recessed; once found, press the button with your hand, avoiding excessive force to prevent damage; then lift the headrest straight up, applying steady force until it loosens and can be removed. If the button is unresponsive or stuck, avoid pulling hard; instead, try gently shaking it side to side or check for any foreign objects blocking it. When removing for purposes like replacing parts, take photos to record the original position for easier reinstallation. Regular maintenance includes periodically checking the button's functionality to prevent issues. If problems persist, it's safer to have it resolved at a professional shop.

Removing the headrest isn't difficult, but minor mistakes should be avoided. For Chang'an vehicles, the headrest release buttons are usually located at the top of the seat—press and lift to remove. I recommend starting with gentle pressure; if the button doesn't respond, it might be due to wear or rust—try cleaning dust with a cotton swab or applying a drop of oil for lubrication. Avoid yanking forcefully during removal to prevent the rods from getting stuck in the holes. The process is simple and takes about half a minute, but plan your time accordingly if the purpose is cleaning or replacing covers. After completion, store the headrest properly to prevent loss, and regularly check the buttons' flexibility to extend service life.
