Description

The Headrest is a standard seat designed for the left and right sides of a vehicle, without power or leather upholstery in an anthracite color scheme. It is used in the interior of various BMW models. The technical benefits of this headrest include its ability to provide adequate support and comfort during long periods of sitting.

Key Features & Benefits

It basically provides support and comfort for your head and neck, especially on longer drives. Most modern headrests also have a safety function – they’re designed to move forward during a rear – end collision to help reduce whiplash. It’s not just about comfort, it actively works to lessen injury. Some even have adjustments for height and tilt so you can really dial in that perfect fit. It's part of the interior, obviously, and it’s usually mounted to the top of the seat. It’s considered a safety component as well as a comfort one. It's designed to work with the seat and seatbelts to protect you. It’s not something you usually think about until it’s broken or missing, but it’s always there doing its job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a broken or missing headrest is just uncomfortable, plain and simple. You’ll notice if you’re on a long trip, your neck will get tired a lot faster. But more seriously, if it doesn’t function properly in an accident, it won’t offer that critical whiplash protection. It acts like a shield in a collision, and you want that shield to be in good working order. You can find replacements pretty easily. Fixparts Online carries a good selection if you're looking. Really, it's a relatively inexpensive part to replace that adds a lot to both comfort and safety, so it's worth taking care of. Product information is provided for reference only.
