Are you talking about something came loose inside the headrest itself?

There is a seam on the bottom side of the headrest between the two headrest posts. You can unclasp(two parts of the leather come together with a plastic connector, runs the length of the seam.) that and very carefully start to remove the headrest cover. Then fix whatever issue you have going on in the headrest.

Damn peasodos... you better not leave this forum anytime soon... a veritable encyclopedia of part numbers, suppliers, vendors and how-to’s.

It may be a few years before I need your help with my 18, but I hope you (or your posts) will still be around!

I reupholstered the interior in my last car. All manufacturers basically use the same method to close the headrest cover, nobody actually stitches it shut, since the other way can be undone and faster to make. Also my business is all online so I work from home mostly.

Only fix it if this is isn't your last rattle. The second you finish the last one, a new one will start!
