need help!!! trying to take off head rest

pmdickso · 11-04-2009, 10:06 PM

i just bought a pair of seat covers for my truck today and to put them on i need to take off all my headrest. Ive tried pulling on them and they wont come all the way off. Mine are not the ones with the button on the plastic piece that you press to let them all the way off. It an 05' crew cab with the fold down console/seat up front and 40/60 seat in back. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Paul

IIRC there is a pin hole on the inside of the bracket on the seat, insert paperclip to release.

This is all of memory, and I really dont want to go look... lol its cold here

thanks so much ill go try it. i figured there was something stupid like that

ok just tried it. i found the holes, stuck a paper clip in but couldnt figure anything out. should i just be able to stick it in there and press something in and then the head rest pull out? cause i could feel anything to press once i put the paper clip in the hole

yea, pull it up and use the paperclip to release the clip.. you have to insert and pull out all at the same time...

as jess said...and get one side up past the pin, while keeping it held up do the same to the other side. i took mine off and took a grinder to the slot on the post...this way i can take them off when ever i have the rear seats folded down so i can have alittle more leg room up front as well the seats will fold back up with out all that pressure on it. just an idea for since you will have them off...they are kinda of a pain in the ass with that pin.

got them off. Thanks a bunch. i tried several paper clips and they all kept bending so i ended up useing a push pin. it worked great. Thanks for the help. and by the way they are Sportsman's camo covers and they fit awesome. they cover every bit of my upolstery including my console and behind my cup holders on the back seat and they very tight fitting.
