How to Remove a VW Headrest?

Removing a VW headrest typically involves pressing release buttons or clips located at the base of the headrest posts where they enter the seat back.

Based on the provided reference for a VW Golf GTI MK7:

You can remove the headrest by locating the plastic clips that sit on top of the seat. These small clips, one on each side of the headrest posts, need to be pushed in at the same time.

Here are the steps based on the reference:

1. Locate the clips: Look at the top of the seat back where the headrest posts enter. You should see small plastic clips.
2. Identify the clips: There is one clip on each side of the headrest base.
3. Press the clips: Press both of these plastic clips in simultaneously.
4. Lift the headrest: While holding the clips pressed, gently pull the headrest upwards to remove it from the seat back.

Summary of the Process:
