I looked into new headrest for my 2005 Grand Cherokee with the monitors installed in them. I had mine off but couldn't remember how i did it. But I got the instuctions from the the company with the new headrest and they linked me to a video online. The company was on ebay. I remember that it was really simple

There should either be a little button at the base of the headrest that you push, or a small hole in the rod part, with a hole in it. Push in the hole with a pen, or a small nail to release the headrest.

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

Take seat cover off
You need to remove the seat from the floor. Take out of the car and turn it upside down. Remove the hog rings holding the cover to the frame and remove the cover. Do your patch/repair and put the cover back on. Before you start, get a box of hog-rings and a pair of hog-ring pliers to crimp them with back in the same holes you removed them from. As for the head rest, there should be a button on the side to release it. Then just pull it straight up.
