Headrest removal

[Ol' Fart]

Anyone know the secret? I have tried to remove the headrests from my '05 Limited, to install some billet aluminum spacers, without success. I pull up while holding the release botton in, goes up about 5" then stops...will not come out no matter what I do! Even the most simple things can become very complex! Any ideas would be appreciated. (Aeh) Doug

I removed the rear seats all the time because they push against front when I fold them.. Never tried to remove the front ones..

it should just pull right off. might have changed something in 05's or what not.....but..doubt it.

unsure if it has 2 buttons tho

I thought it had a button for each pipe, I have to look at that..

there are 2 buttons you need to hold in on each head rest. I would love to meet the guy who thought that one up!

Why do you need to put spacers under the headrest? There is a button on each side.

Thanks for the help guys, I figured it out finally. On each headrest there are two bottons, one on each side where the leg slides in however, one of them is almost flush with it's housing and is hard to see. When you pull the headrest up, that button moves out flush making it harder to see. Push that button in while lifting the headrest and, wallah...comes right out. For those inquisitive ones, the billet spacer is purely cosmetic. It just enhances the factory brushed aluminum-look trim that I have in my Limited. Thanks for the responses. Doug

Gallery? Are you talking about the pics thread. I checked and didnt see any?

 

[hyde]

I think gallery requires approval by Benett? That's why they don't show yet?

You could have just added them to http://www.ImageShack.us
