Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest has been designed specifically for the Volkswagen Tiguan 5N model, intended for installation on the front seats on either the left or right side. The design is based on factory guides, which allows for smooth height adjustment and maintains the full functionality of the head support system. Thanks to the use of original mounting geometry, the component works with the standard seat frame, requires no modifications, and allows for quick installation in place of a damaged or missing headrest.

Material and finish

The outer part of the headrest is covered in black leather, which allows for consistency with the factory interior finish of the Tiguan. The leather surface is resistant to typical operational wear while being easy to maintain. The filling has been selected to ensure appropriate elasticity and stability of neck support, without excessive sagging while driving. The shape of the headrest has been optimized for ergonomics to reduce fatigue during longer trips.

Safety and comfort function

A properly selected headrest is crucial for passive safety – its task is to limit strain on the cervical spine during sudden braking or rear-end collisions. The applied construction ensures:

• stable head support in the seat axis,
• the ability to adjust height depending on the user's height,
• maintenance of the correct neck position while driving. In addition to its protective function, the headrest also improves daily comfort – especially during longer highway journeys, when constant head support reduces neck muscle tension.

Condition and service application

The item comes from dismantling and is intended for users who need to replace a damaged, worn, or missing headrest in their Tiguan. It is a practical solution both for post-accident repairs and for restoring the completeness of the interior after previous modifications. The original Volkswagen origin helps maintain the factory look of the cabin while allowing for cost savings compared to purchasing a new component.
