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?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: How To Remove Front Seat Rear Panel To Install Headrests

I am getting ready to install DVD headrest players in my RX400h. I am stumped on how to remove the read shield of the seat if that makes sence? I believe the are held in by clamps from middle to top but not sure what needs done at the bottome. And I can also feel two straps at the bottom.

How to remove the back so I can run the wires down the seat from the headrests? Pictures? Diagrams?

Touareg :: Rear Seat Belt Is Impossible To Raise

I know the Touareg has a problem with the rear seat belt locking and making it impossible to raise the rear seat after it's folded down. In fact, that happened to me and I'm going to have it fixed next week. Now, however, the front passenger side seat belt is stuck about 2/3 of the way out. Can't pull out more and won't retract.

Camry :: 2004 - Cannot Get Passenger And Both Rear Doors To Lock Automatically

Got an issue with the wife's Camry. I CAN NOT get the passenger door and both rear doors to lock automatically. I can manually flip the lock and they stayed locked, but that is the only way to lock them. They un-lock like normal.

Symptoms are as follows:

I do not hear any noise (in the three doors that will not lock) when I press ANY the lock buttons.

Drivers side door:
- with key in door it will unlock drivers door with one turn and all others with second turn. (normal)
- with key in door I can get the drivers door to lock, but the other three doors do NOT lock.
- with inside switch I can unlock all doors with unlock button.
- with inside switch I can lock drivers door but not the other three

Passenger side door:
- with key in door I can unlock all doors
- with key in door I can get ONLY divers door to lock.
- with inside switch I can unlock all doors with unlock button.
- with inside switch I can lock drivers door but not the other three

Key fob:
- with one press I can unlock the divers door and another press unlocks the rest of the doors.
- with the lock button I can get the drivers door to lock but the other three do NOT lock.

I have checked all fuses that I think are related. I don't have a repair manual so I don't know exactly what wires and plugs and fuses are all related to the lock/unlock system. I plan to get a manual soon.

Do the passenger and rear doors have different power to their locking solenoids separate from the drivers door? Could a broken wire in the drivers door (a common problem from what I've been reading on here) play a role in the other three doors not locking? Also I've read about the BCM being faulty in these cars (even though the problem described with that is the doors not unlocking and my problem is the exact opposite).

Phaeton :: Car Parked For 10 Days And Remote Won't Open The Doors

My Phaeton has been parked in my garage locked for about 10 days and the remote will not open the doors. Additionally the key will not go in the key slot in the door. Not sure why that would be an issue. I can open the trunk but the Alarm goes off when I do that!
What can I do to get in the car. The remote shows a green light so I know that battery is good but and the flashing door lights flash.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Back Seat Doors Don't Open Unless Front Door Is Unlocked

I rarely drive with anyone else in my 2004 Prius. This week we've had out-of-town guests, with two people in the back seat. When the doors are locked, the front seat passenger can pull on the handle to open the door, but the back seat passengers can't open their doors with the handle until someone in one of the front seats pushes the door unlock button. The child safety locks are not set. I keep getting out of my car and forgetting to push the button to let the back seat passengers open their doors. Is there anything I can do to change this rear door behavior?

Ford - Doors - Transmissions :: Power Doors To Automatically Unlock When Shift Into Park?

I recently purchased a 2006 Ford F-150 XLT and don't know very much about it, nor Fords in general. I was just wondering if there is any way to have the power doors unlock automatically when I shift into Park or turn the ignition off? It has the option to have the doors automatically lock once I reach 5-10 mph, but I can't find any information about programming it to unlock automatically. It doesn't have the programmable computer display, so everything requires pressing a bunch of buttons when the key is turned on accessory and things like that. I have kids who are always in the back seats, and it gets annoying trying to get them out of the truck when it's off and I forget to manually unlock them.

Ford - Mountaineer :: 2010 - Front Seat Headrests Need To Be Reclined?

The front seat headrests feel like they need to be reclined, but they are fixed in position. I thought I would get used to them, but I always feel like my head is pitched forward a little too far. Any aftermarket headrests?

Touareg :: Rear Doors Don't Open?

I'm having a little bit of a problem with my keyless entry. The rear doors are not opening when i touch the handle, but they do lock. My dealer says that this is "normal" though I'm pretty confident that I have used the keyless entry to open the rear doors in the past. I'm not knocking on my dealer, as they've really been good about warranty issues (no questions asked), but i think my SA is misinformed.

Touareg :: Rear Hatch Does Not Unlock When Open The Doors

When I open the doors on my touareg, the rear hatch does not unlock. When I try to program it as an option to open the rear hatch when I unlock the doors, it works for awhile. But, it always goes back to not opening. I recall a few months ago a similar question or post about a solution, like reprogramming something else first or at the same time.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: IAC Open Up And Raise The Idle

My 04 ranger is back at it AGAIN. It started about 3 years ago.

- Cruising along on the highway and then come into town. Idles at 2000 RPM
- Shut it off. and restart it. Again, 2000 RPM.
- Shut it off and it idles normal
- Drive it 2-3 day and then it idles high again

- I have clean and functioned the IAC and it works fine
- Cleaned throttle body and I never can get it to stick.
- Replaced throttle cable

It still was idling high

- Replaced ECM and it idled normal for about 1 year
- Replaced em again and it idled normal for about 6 months

It is back at it again. For what ever reason the EM is telling the IAC to open up and raise the idle...

Crown Victoria :: 2009 - Rear Doors Don't Open From Inside / Windows Won't Roll Down

I have just purchased a 2009 Ford Crown Vic Interceptor a few weeks ago. One of the few things I would like to fix is the rear doors. I want to have people in the back have the ability to roll down their own windows and open their own doors. I have plugged the wires, that were in the armrest back into the button but still doesn't work. I am assuming the fuse might also be missing from the fuse box but I have not looked yet and when looking through the owners manual I could figure out which fuse it would have been or its place.

The other issue with the doors is people getting out on their own rather than me feeling like their limo driver or something... Iss there a kit I can buy to get the doors in full working order? If I take it into a ford dealership will/can they fix it?

Phaeton :: Non-Motorized Trunk Unlocks But Does Not Raise?

I've searched through prior threads but all the trunk issues seem to revolve around either the motorized trunks or wiring loom, my issue is a bit different.

On my recently acquired 2005 Phaeton the trunk unlocks and locks fine, but it does not "pop" up at all. I end up having to pry my fingers under the lid to lift it up(harder to do than you'd think). The trunk shocks hold it up fine and everything else seems normal. Would this be an issue with the latch itself?
