can I reposition the headrests

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

February 10, 2025

Yes, the headrests in the 2024 Mini Cooper can be adjusted in height. To raise them, push them upward. To lower them, press the release button on the backrest and push them downward. However, the rear head restraints and those on the John Cooper Works sport seat cannot be adjusted in height or removed.
