Headrest Cover and Upholstery, with Locking Mechanism







Headrest Cover and Upholstery, with Locking Mechanism


It is only possible to replace the cover on the headrest with leather cover. It is not possible to replace the cover on a fabric headrest because the cover is filled with foam and also serves as the casing for the upholstery.

The headrest support is built into the upholstery. Both components are attached to each other and cannot be separated.
