The rear head rest was put in backwards. :oops: Now it is stuck.

:roll: Any ideas how I can get it out without damaging the seat?

Thanks

You can release the cover and peal it back up to expose the headrest
mechanism.

I had exactly this - result of getting the kids to do it!

As well as the prominent latches on the outside socket, there are
miniature latches on the inside socket which need to be pressed in
with a flat screwdriver or similar. The headrest can then be removed.
