Golf/GTI VII :: How To Remove Rear Seat Headrests

How to remove (fully remove) the rear seat headrests from a Golf 7? I never have passengers in the rear seat, and I find that the headrests obstruct my vision (via the interior mirror) out the rear window.

I know that VW configures these headrests so they cannot easily be removed (this to prevent them from unintentionally popping out when someone is adjusting them upwards). I am sure that there must be a 'trick' to getting them out completely, though.

How to completely remove these headrests?

Passat (B7) :: Covering On The Rear Headrests Come Loose

I noticed that mine covering on the rear headrests come loose, so I took them into the dealer to get warranty replacements. The dealer replaced them, but out of their own stock; they did not file a claim with corporate because the service manager said VWoA is refusing to do so because they consider this damage to be owner caused. In reality though it's a very bad design, prone to failure.

Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger And Driver Side Headrests Rattle?

I was removing my rear headrests, for the first time, from my 2012 GTI today and noticed that both the passenger and driver side headrests rattle. It sounds like there is a broken piece of plastic rolling around in each of them. I have been hearing a rattle since I purchased the car new 6 months ago so maybe I have found the issue.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: How To Adjust Headrests

I have a 2010 Santa Fe and can't seem to adjust the head rests to move them further back. They seem to slant towards the front of the car which is hard on the neck. I can move them up and down but not back. According to the manual I should be able to pull them forward and then they will snap back to the back position but that doesn't seem to work. Also , I'm not sure how far I can pull them forward.

Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: Rear Windows Roll Down Not Completely And Evenly?

So I have never rolled down the rear window to noticed until now. I was messing around with TechStream's option (turning on the pressing the remote unlock button 2.5 seconds to roll down all windows).

Anyways, it worked but when I looked at the rear windows, it doesn't roll down 100% like the front. There is about 1" left towards the front edge of the rear door left when it bottoms out. Also the left side (driver side) is bottoming out slidely higher than the rear passenger side (may be about 1/4" higher). Is this normal?

Ford - Explorer :: 1997 V6 - Whole Rear Suspension (Shocks) Completely Destroyed

I Just bought a 1997 Ford Explorer V6 4WD and I noticed after the I bought the truck that the whole rear suspension (Shocks) were completely destroyed. I failed to notice this during inspection of the car because it was parked very close to a wall so i was unable to see the area. Now I do know a bit a about cars but I no professional, It seems as if this whole section of the car just rotted out which is surprising because the rest of the car seemed OK. So now my question what do I need to buy in order to fix this I am not sure it seems like there is some sort of cross member that bolts onto the frame that connects the two rear shocks. What it looks like?

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Noise In The Rear - ABS Ring On The Gear Completely Off

So I had the same , "noise" in the rear of my truck that i see other people having, at first I thought it was my tires, since I ran buckshots, so I switched over to street tires, and low and behold it sounded like I had buckshots still on the truck. So this thursday I pulled the diff cover off, and guess what i found!

The abs ring on the ring gear, was completely off , and the bolt that holds the pin for the spider gears was broken with just about maybe 3/8 to 5/16 of an inch left in the pin, right now i am still working on how to get that out of there.

also found a 1999 ford f150 2wd truck, 4.6 auto , that someone pulled a 1997 4.6 engine out of and put it in this truck and now it won't charge, and i think it's cause of the pcm needing to be reflashed. tested the alt, battery, everything is good, i just don't know if the pcm controls the charging system.

Pics will come soon of the differential destruction.

Golf V R32 :: CEL Comes On - At Acceleration Cut Off Completely

Our R32 has 1680 miles on it, yesterday my wife & son drove it about 35 miles to drop off my Focus ST at the dealer......as they were doing a U-Turn it bogged almost to a stall. then recovered At the light when my son went to accelerate it cut almost completely off then surged and went forward....

When they restarted it 20 minutes later to leave the dealership...it threw a CEL. Drove fine all the way to the shop, dealer, then home.

Diagnosis at Euro Technik was bad MAF, wife took it right to the dealer, (went back to stock tune 1st), Dealer confirmed a diagnosis and ordered a part. My dealer had no issue with the V-Flow being on the car and actually, my Service Advisor has an APR tune on his 2008 GTI....no worries. They interestingly enough will not work on REVO tuned cars until the tune is gone....didn't elaborate to me, but the Service Mgr is British & very cool about mods. No R32 MAF in stock...I guess that is a good thing? Not for us, but hey.

I will go back to the 93 tune as soon as they put the new MAF in. Point is the hiccup seems to be a combination of things and the Valve could only be 1 issue...just info....food for thought as it were. I gave her my GLI and I will drive the R until the part comes in as she hates any light on.......

Golf V R32 :: Suddenly Lost Power Completely?

Heading to work this morning, taking the back roads as usual. Came to the nice RH sweeping curve that ends in an uphill straight (where I typically like to play a bit). Caught 3rd, nailed it coming out of the curve, and instead of "grip and go" the .:R completely loses power. Limped to side of road...tried to restart. Acts exactly like out of gas, but tank is almost full. Bummer...and I'm very aggravated at this point.

Called roadside assistance and they sent someone who had it on a rollback in under 30 minutes. Caught a ride with the truck to my job...call the dealership and asked for a ride and loaner. That all worked out, so now I'm calmed down and feel satisfied with the courtesy and service I've received thus far.

BTW, I did have the fuel tank valve recall thing performed a month or more ago. Not going to speculate, though, as to whether this had anything to do with anything. Also, I have never had any problem, hiccups, or anything negative happen to the car (14K on odo) prior to this.
