GTPE front seats headrest squeaking

[CrAzY-HoRsE.dK]

My front headrests are squeaking a lot. I've tried with some anti-squeak spray which helped some but it's still there.

Does anyone know how to remove the "back plate" on the headrest it seems to be clipped in very secure, and I don't want to ruin anything?

My plan is to remove it, and re-install it using some sticky 3M Windows sealer?

Nothing you can do, it’s the material used. Dealers might be able to replace, not sure.

I’ve now gotten my seat FOAM creaking! The left bolster, when sitting in the seat, creaks like crazy. Drives me nuts, never had foam creak like this before.

I’m pretty sure that I can fix it, just need to know how the clips system works on these headrests.

Your creaky foam-seats can normally be fixed be cleaning the fake leather on the seats with leather care/conditioner. If the creaks are coming from the inside, then you have to open the seats and spray them with some silikone spray, that will fixed the foam rubbing against the bolster.

How would I open them up to spray? I have a GTPE as well, so there is very little leather to try and condition, but I guess I can give that a shot.

Don’t try to remove the seat covers without proper instructions, you’ll end up ruin them?. I’am just saying that you can normally fix the creaks with silicone spray, if you know how to remove/open the seat covers.

I'm still looking for a repairmanual picture on how to remove the backside of the GTPE headrests.

Any help would be appriciated ?

There is zero leather to condition.

The squeaks seem to come from the plastic supports though.
