2 Answers
To remove the headrest of the Buick Verano seat, press down the circular buttons on both sides of the headrest and pull it out. To reinstall, use the same method by pressing the buttons and then inserting the headrest back in. Taking the 2020 Buick Verano as an example, it is a 4-door, 5-seater compact sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4723mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1466mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The 2020 Buick Verano is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 165 and a maximum power of 121 kilowatts, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
Last time I removed the headrest of my Buick Verano's seat was to clean it, as my child had soiled the headrest cover. Near the base of the headrest, close to the seatback, there's a small plastic button that needs to be pressed while pulling the headrest upwards with force. It might feel a bit tight because it's designed for safety to prevent accidental detachment. After pressing the button, I slowly pulled it upwards and successfully removed it. When cleaning the headrest cover, I used a damp cloth to wipe it down, let it dry, and then reinstalled it. During reinstallation, I aligned the metal rod with the slot and simply pushed it down until I heard a click, indicating it was secured. The whole process was straightforward, but it's important to avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the button or bracket. The headrest isn't just for comfort; it also protects the neck in rear-end collisions, so it's crucial to check its stability after removal and reinstallation. If the button isn't functioning properly, it might be due to a worn-out spring, and I recommend having it checked at a professional shop. In summary, DIY saves time and money, but referring to the owner's manual is safer, as it contains detailed illustrations.
