How To Remove Back Headrest BMW E36 - YouTube

there should be a button on the base of the posts that support the headrests (where the posts meet the rest of the seat.) that should allow you to pull the headrests out.

I have not done an 850 so this is my best guess based on doing other Volvos.......
If the back of the seat is soft, you should be able to press in on the fabric far enough to feel the two metal rods that support the headrest. The rods stick through two plastic guides. There is a notch in one or both of the metal rods near the bottom. That notch catches on a catch in the lower plastic guide. You should feel a slight bump in the lower plastic guide that is actually a release.
Have your helper pull up on the headrest while you press both those releases at the same time.
If that does not work, you will have to detach the cover from the seat back and pull it up to expose the headrest support system. That can be a real pain, but I presume that you intend to dismantle the seat anyway.

There is a Pin hole on one side of the headrest in the plastic base. You have someone put a small Allen wrench in the hole till it presses against the metal spring and also on the release on the other side, then pull the headrest out. You will have to press on the spring to put the head rest back in also.

two answers,depending on seat.
1.push in 1/2 moon shape piece at bottom of post and lift,it is stiff...
2.about 6 inches down from the post on the back of the seat you will feel a small 1" pad,push it in hard and lift headrest,it will be stiff.
better if someone sits in back and tries to move headrest at first cos you will only have one hand free
and from experience a face full of headrest can hurt.

When you lift the headrest to the up position on the plastic sleves at the bottom of the metal rods for the headrest you should find a small hole on one side.Take a small pin or nail and push in the hole and lift up that will release the headrest

There is a plastic cover, about 1 1/8" diameter, on the base of the post on each side. You can remove it with a screw driver by carefully prising upwards at the edge. They just clip down.
Once these are lifted away from the seat, you will see the wire clip that locks the headrest into the seat. Remove the clip on each post, and you can then remove the headrest.
Reassembly is the reverse.

There Is A Button At The Bottom Of One Of The Silver Posts Hold It The Whole Time You Are Lifting The Headrest Out. The Little Button Is Almost Always Grey Plastic.

The headrest has on obvious button to adjust the height and another button kinda hidden to remove the headrest. The black plastic ring at the base where the metal poles insert into the seat is where the two buttons. You probably noticed the obvious on that sticks out of the side of one of the rings. The other plastic ring contains a similar button that is not noticeable due to it being flush with the side of the plastic ring. Adjust the headrest to its highest position, then locate the "hidden" button on the other plastic ring and depress it while lifting on the headrest and it should come out.

Look at the top of ur seat, between the two shafts of ur headrest. Beside one of the posts is a black plastic base on which one side has a button u push. That allows u to remove the headrest. U might have to jimmy side to side a bit as they are somewhat hard to remove at times, just do so with ur finger pushing the release mechanism.
