Hello everyone. I have recently become an X-Type owner and joined the club yesterday. My car is a 2009 2.0 Ltr Diesel, manual saloon with 93000 miles and I like it a lot. Today I had a pair of step ladders to put in the car and this required the one half of the rear seat back to be lowered. The head rest needed removing to get the back horizontal without fouling the back of the front seat. This was all done with no problems and now I come to the "numpty" part on my behalf. I put the head rest back in but back to front, I have tried all ways to pull it out, gently, one end at a time and resorting in the end to rage force but it won't budge. Has anyone got a suggestion as to how I can extricate this without damaging the seat or the rest?  This is probably the stupidest problem that has been put on the forum, a good start to my being a member. Many thanks, Kenny.

Welcome to the club, Kenny.

The x type is a good solid car as well as some style.

The seats do a usual job so careful lets them up and down.

I am no expert and my toolbox only carries an adjustable spanner and a lump hammer, so I would keep going gently  —  Bonny Mary of Argyll could help!

Regards

Peter.

Thanks Peter, will persevere today.
