The first thing my partner said when she sat in the passenger seat of my newly arrived 2018 Passat (132 TSI) was: "How do you adjust the headrest?" She's 5'5" (165cm) and the headrest was too high. So, out came the manual. I swaggered around to her side of the car, full of confidence. Ten minutes later, after wiggling and manhandling the thing, I gave up. The lowest part of the headrest was still 50mm above the top of backrest.
"I'll have a look tomorrow."
The next day I was able to remove the headrest, but it would not go all the way down. I discovered why – it's been designed that way. I spent the afternoon working out how to modify it, and last night I wrote the instructions. They can be downloaded here (https://www.mediafire.com/file/vpsvyl7u5w1ug2t/Passat+Headrest.pdf/file).
