Vehicle Application and Fitment

The presented headrest is designed for installation in the rear cabin, suitable for both the left and right sides. Thanks to its construction conforming to factory Audi standards, correct mounting points and headrest geometry are maintained, ensuring predictable performance during daily use.

This part is dedicated to interiors finished in leather, allowing for a uniform cabin character and avoiding visual discrepancies between individual seat components.

Material and Finish

The headrest is made of grey leather upholstery, providing an aesthetic match for typical Audi A5/S5 8T interior configurations. Leather is a durable, easy-to-maintain material that withstands intensive use of the rear seat while preserving the cabin's presentable appearance.

The neutral grey shade facilitates integration with various interior color schemes, reducing the risk of visible tonal differences when replacing a single headrest.

Function, Ergonomics, and Safety

The function of the rear headrest is to provide stable head support for the passenger and to limit excessive neck extension during sudden changes in speed. The design, matched to standard Audi seats, ensures:

• correct support height relative to the seat back,
• appropriate angle relative to the passenger's back,
• consistency with the seat back and side contours.

Therefore, replacing a damaged or missing headrest with this part restores the original functionality of the rear seat, both in terms of comfort and user protection.

Condition, Service Application, and Installation

This product is a used part, making it a practical service solution for post-accident repairs, supplementing missing interior components, or restoring the completeness of the rear seat. Headrest replacement does not require modification of the seat structure – installation is done by inserting it into the factory guides, maintaining the original locking mechanism.

This solution is particularly beneficial when you want to preserve the original character of the Audi interior and ensure a technically correct fit without the need for modifications.

Integration with Other Audi Headrests

When renovating the rear cabin, it's advisable to ensure consistency of all headrests in terms of color, material, and shape. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear seating area in your Audi and need other parts from the same group, such as additional headrests, center headrests, or compatible seat backs, check the available parts in the Audi Headrests category.
