Application and function in the front seat

The presented guide is designed for installation in the front seats of BMW 1 and 3 series E87 / E90 generations. It is responsible for the precise guidance of the headrest rods and locking them in the selected position, which facilitates height adjustment and maintains a stable position while driving.

The element is mounted in the upper part of the seat backrest, where the headrest rods pass through the seat structure. Thanks to this, the headrest has no play, and the adjustment is smooth with a noticeable locking click.

Construction, color, and fitment

The guide is manufactured as a compact, lockable holder that works with the factory headrest adjustment mechanism. The grey color allows for a consistent match with typical upholstery and interior finishes used in the BMW E87 and E90, without disrupting the aesthetics of the cockpit.

The geometry of the element is consistent with the factory BMW specification, which facilitates installation in place of the original guide. As a result, the part can be used both when replacing a damaged holder and when completing a seat after upholstery repairs or work on the seat frame.

OEM parameters and compatibility

The product belongs to the Other seat parts group and complies with factory BMW standards. It has an original part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific seat version and vehicle year. This allows for precise selection of the guide for a given model, minimizing the risk of mismatch.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used element

The offered headrest guide is an original BMW element from dismantling, in used condition. This type of part, despite being used, retains its factory geometry and fit to the seat structure, which is crucial for the proper operation of the headrest adjustment mechanism.

Choosing a used OEM component allows you to maintain consistency with other seat elements while reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new replacement. This is a particularly beneficial solution for comprehensive interior work, where both functionality and service economy are important.
