Does anyone know if the front headrests come off? I have tried and tried but can't remove them.

How to removing front seat headrest?

Is it possible to remove the front seat headrest on a 2019 XC90? I found this video on youtube, but it looks like the older generation XC90. Does this method work for the 2019 model? I just ordered (dealer swap) a 2019, will pick it up next week, and was wondering about this. The salesman...

Try to feel the button on one of the two plastic parts where the headrest rods enter the seat. Press it and pull out the headrest. Then it comes out easy

To be more precise: each headrest has two plastic elements located at the seat. You have to look at the one that looks as there is nothing to press, but indeed there is a place you should use a coin or a key to press, then pull up this side and only then press the plastic on the 2nd side

Ok try this:

That shows an older model, but a similar action may work.
I am guessing that, because if you go here and look at the schematic, you see the notches at the bottom of the headrest stalks, implying that similar latches must exist inside the seat.

XC40 Seats are designed differently so this won’t work. Try the way I described before and you will get it

Deferring to your better knowledge Slawek!

If you are behind the headrest, press the left side in. You will also see an indentation on the right side. Use a key to press it in. Then you will be able to remove the headrest.
