Adjusting rear headrest in f16

Khurram · 05-07-2015, 08:59 PM

So I just got my f16 delivered today and I love it!
I'm trying to install the baby mirror on the rear seat headrest which goes around the headrest itself but I can't for the life of me figure out how to raise it at all.

I don't see any buttons, levers, or anything. Does anyone know how to do this? I've looked through the manual and it only references how to move it in the automatic version which I don't have.

Thanks in advance!

@Khurram , should be just an upward pull.
If it still doesn't work, ask the dealer to try it. So in case if it got damaged, they will be responsible.

I've been trying that with no success. Is it possible that the rear headrests are fixed in position ?

Not really sure. I haven't play with any X6 yet.

I couldn't move mine when i got it 4 months ago. I wanted to take out the middle one, but I think they are fixed.

Do they not have the little button on the one seatmounted clip you have to press to get teh headrest to move ?

Them seem rock solid down.

Ok, checked the service system, the rear headrests are held in via a clamp , so cannot be adjusted

Wow that is crazy. Wife is not going to be happy about this!

1.5 years with my x6 and now I have a newborn.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this?

Not sure if the F16 is the same but see my thread for my rear headrest saga.
