Re: Headrests
With brute force! Sit on the back seat and with an almighty tug, try to pull the headrest out. Take care not to whack yourself in the face when the headrest does eventually let go.

Re: Headrests
Andy is bang on the money. Just give it a good yank and prepare for it to suddenly let go!

Re: Headrests
There is an easy way. Feel down the back of the seat and you should feel the spine. Theres a slightly fatter part. Squeeze with thunb and finger and simply lift out the headrest

Re: Headrests
Thanks Tony,
That sounds less painful will give it a go.

Re: Headrests
There is a retension / spring pin at the point of the chrome stem - this whats stopping you from getting the headrest out see attached shortcut to see the pin.
