    The tab will only lower the head restraint from an upright position. For this year model there might be a different type of release.

There is a pinhole on one side. Use a paperclip to push the locking clip in and it will pull up and out

How do i remove head restraint from fiat palio 1.2 ed 3 door car

Tilt the seat then you will see two plastic surrounds where the headrest supports slide into, one will have a tab, with the seat tilted so the headrest can clear the roof push the tab at the same time as you tug the headrest out and the headrest will slide out.

How to remove the headrests to put seat covers on for a 1989 crown victoria?

90% of head rests just pull out. the others will have a button where the headrest goes into the seat. If yours doesn't have the button, then push the headrest down and **** it up with some force and it will come out. Just be carefull you don't hit yourself in the face with it. Been there done that

How do I remove the headrests on a 2010 Chevy Impala?

Check the base of the headrest at the plastic ring. There should be a small button that is pushed in from the side of the ring.

I want to put fitted seat covers on my 09 HHR but contrary to the owners manual, the headrests in the front do not pull out What am I missing?

There is a little release that you need to trip. If I recall correctly, it may just be a little **** in the plastic where the headrest posts go into the seat. A small, flat screwdriver should be able to hold it in while you pull up on the headrest.

How do you remove the front headrest for a 2009 bmw 335i

You can't remove the front headrests from 2009 or later BMW's without first disconnecting internal wiring that runs inside 1 of the posts for each headrest to the inside the seat. This wiring is part of the Active Restraint Safety System that was new for 2009.

If you force it and break the wire you will at a minimum need to spend about $300 at the dealer to resplice the wire by taking the back off the seat.

How can I remove the headrest

I've removed the headrest on my mustang before. Some seats have a zipper or a way to snap the seat cover at the bottom rear. If you open it you can put your arm up the back of the seat. With the headresat down you can feel the locking piece that retracts when you lift the headrest. If you take a long shaft flat blade screwdriver and place it in between and lift up the headrest it will slide out. Yes, getting the screwdriver in place can be tricky but, it was the only way to remove the headrest without having the correct tool. I hope this can work on your vehicle as well.

How can I remove front row seat headrest?

Most volvo headrest can be removed by releasing the catches which are on the back of the headrest on some models and on the front on others I believe on 960 they are on the back. To release the seat on a 960 look where the shafts should be then follow it down on the back where the seat back top stops then goes in press around that area you should be able to find the catch there pull up on the headrest while releasing the catch you have to do this on both sides. The headrest should come off this also works on 740 and 760 series the volvo 780 is a different story the only way to get the headrest off on that is to disassemble the seat

Headrest removal

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.
