Saab Headrest - Genuine Saab 12790501

Product Information

A headrest is the padded support attached to the top of a car seat, designed to support the occupant’s head and neck. Its main purpose is to reduce whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions by limiting the backward movement of the head.

• Loose or Wobbly Headrest: The headrest doesn’t stay firmly in position or moves unexpectedly.
• Inability to Adjust Height or Angle: Adjustment mechanisms may become stuck, broken, or worn out.
• Cracked or Torn Upholstery: Visible damage to the fabric, leather, or padding.

About Genuine Saab

The original parts used by Saab to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Saab” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Saab, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Saab Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Saab are not necessarily manufactured by Saab. No cause for concern, as Saab designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Saab for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Saab parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Saab logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
