Headrest removal on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria LX

GM headrests are essentially the same. Lower the seat as low as possible to allow enough headroom to remove the headrest. Next raise the headrest, push in the exposed button on one side of the 2 headrest pins that go into the seat. Notice on the other pin is a button that is flush to the plastic hole cover. This is the release button. Press this button in and the adjustment button at the same time and push up on the headrest. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQJGaWOJDw4

Pull the headrests up to their maximum extension, press and hold button and pull headrest, if it does not come out, utter a few words of encouragement at it and pull harder

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

Most times there is a small hole on the plastic piece that the heads go in and out of. This hole is big enough to put a small nail or paperclip in. Doing so and pressing firmly, will trigger the release switch. You might have to press in on that, and the regular button (for going up and down) at the same time, and have a 2nd person pull up on the headrest.

Here is a link to some basic install instructions, which covers headrest removal with pictures:

Good Luck please rate 4 thumbs up and please leave a testimonial

You should be able to push and hold the button that lets you adjust it up and down and then just pull it up.

Lift the headrest up, unscrew the two plastic covers from the post and then pull the headrest up.

Pull up on the headrest to the top ,there should be two screw's holding the collare of the head rest in place.

At the top of the seat where the headrest posts go into the seat, there may be buttons that you have to press to release the headrest. On some models, it'll require you to insert a paperclip into a hole on the plastic to release the headrest.

There should be a small pin hole at base of headrest to seat.use ice pick to push release.

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.
