Purpose and Fitment

The presented headrest is part of the Other Seat Parts group and is designed for the rear bench seat of the MINI R50. Its placement on the vehicle covers the rear, either on the right or left side, allowing for flexible application depending on the interior configuration. The construction, based on factory MINI solutions, guarantees proper alignment with the seatback and correct operation of the height adjustment mechanism (if present in the specific vehicle version).

Material and Finish

The headrest is upholstered in leather, providing a pleasant-to-the-touch surface and ease of cleaning. Leather withstands daily use well and, with proper care, retains its appearance for a long time. The use of the same type of material as on other seat components ensures color consistency and texture matching for the rear bench seat finish.

Safety and Comfort Function

The rear seat headrest plays an important role in protecting passengers' necks and heads during driving, especially during sudden braking. A properly selected component helps limit the forces acting on the cervical spine. Additionally, the soft leather surface enhances comfort on longer journeys by stabilizing head position and reducing fatigue.

Used Product Characteristics

This item comes from a vehicle disassembly, thus retaining its factory geometry and mounting method consistent with original MINI seats. A used headrest is a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, replacing a single interior component, or restoring the completeness of the rear bench seat without the need to invest in a new seat set. Original MINI origin facilitates hassle-free installation and preserves the original character of the cabin.

Integration with Other MINI Interior Elements

When renovating the rear bench seat, it is advisable to ensure consistency among all headrests and other seat components. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the seating area in your MINI and require other parts from the same group, such as additional headrests, side seatback elements, or small mounting components, check the available parts in the Other Mini Seat Parts category.
