How to Remove the Headrest of the 2020 Volkswagen Bora?
2 Answers
The removal of the front headrests for the 2020 Volkswagen Bora is relatively simple. On the upper back of the seatback, you can feel a recessed area. Press and hold this area upwards while pulling the headrest firmly upwards to remove it. After installing the headrest cover, position the headrest onto the headrest guide rods, then insert it into the corresponding seatback guides. Push the headrest downwards until the guide rods lock into place. Below is relevant information: The method for removing Volkswagen Bora seats is as follows: 1. Front Seat Removal: There are four screws in total for the front seats. Move the seat to the frontmost position and locate the two screws at the rear of the slide rails. Remove these screws, then move the seat to the rearmost position and remove the two screws at the front of the slide rails. The seat can then be removed. If the seat has heating or electric adjustment, remember to disconnect the wiring. 2. Rear Seat: There is one clip on each side at the front of the rear seat. Lift the left side of the seat firmly upwards, then do the same for the right side. You will see that the seat can move freely, then pull it forward to remove. 3. Rear Seatback: Remove the two headrests from the rear seatback, and you will see four round holes securing the headrests. Remove all of them, then lift the seatback firmly upwards. Note: To remove the four round holes, use a flashlight to look inside the holes; you will find clips. Insert a screwdriver into the outer side of the hole and gently pry inward, then pull the round hole outward to remove it.
I've been driving the 2020 Volkswagen Bora for almost three years now, and cleaning the seat headrests is a regular task. The removal process is actually quite simple. You need to locate two small buttons at the base of the headrest, usually on the side pillars. Press them gently while pulling the headrest upward—it will slide out of the tracks bit by bit until fully detached. Avoid using excessive force or pulling at an angle, as it might get stuck and cause trouble. The last time I removed mine was to replace the headrest cushion due to an unpleasant odor. I recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dust buildup in the release mechanism. If the headrest resists removal, the internal springs might be rusty; a quick spray of lubricant should help. The Bora's headrest design is quite user-friendly—removal and reinstallation take just minutes. After pulling it out, always check the springs to ensure they're intact, making reinstallation hassle-free.
