anyone removed rear hearrests for 135, can make them up and down but can't squeeze them out? trying to do this as looking messy with my baby seats

Yes, simply push the little tab in on the bottom of the rail and pull up ... Hard!

They do come out, I've taken mine out for the same reason.

as i pull up mine seam to hit the rear windscreen before i can remove. probably helps you have a vert

Fold them forward a bit then try

Fold them forward all the way, move the front seat back up.

Yeah I pulle them off day one.

Me too. On a coupe.

Just give them a yank - you won't break anything.

+1 fold them forward

Is it a common practice to remove the rear head rests in 1ers coupes. Besides the child capsule issue, do they obstruct rear view?

Smiley1175 · 08-30-2011, 04:25 AM

I don't think they obstruct any vision at all, I only removed one side because of the child seat. When fully lowered I don't even notice them.
I guess with a vert you're used to reduced visibility thru the back anyway!

Reduced visibility??? With the top down, I have a 360 view!

Like others have said, fold down the seat first if you're having trouble yanking it out. Open the boot, look along the top and you'll see two release tabs.
