<!-- from fixya rte -->How do I remove the front seat headrest - 1999 GMC Jimmy

Make sure you replace it after removal. It is part of the safety system and prevents you getting a broken neck in a crash.

Depress the large button on the head restraint guide and raise the head restraint to the full up position. Depress the smaller button on the opposite head restraint guide and pull upward to remove from the seat.Jan 16, 2022

Rear headrest removal ' Trailblazer Forum

I had a 2003 Pilot and if I remember right, there are buttons hidden below the fabric. Look at the rear seat headrests and how they have buttons to push in. They are similar on the front, but hidden below the fabric. You'll have to feel around for them and depress them while pulling up on the headrest.

There is a button you need to press at the bottom of one of the headrest rods (it is actually part of the main seat), but it is located right where the rods of the headrest enter.

There is a small lever at the base of the pole that goes into the seats, press it in and pull up the headrest. Or, move your front seats further forward.

Pull the seat fabric down in front to expose the plastic piece that the headrest bar inserts through. You will see a small wire clip inserted through plastic. Remove it by prying with small flat head screwdriver. Repeat on other side. Headrest will then slide out.

hello,you need to remove your rear seat,,look for your your headrest valve ,there is a lock pin with tension clip in headrest rod ,remove the pin,try to remove your headrest slowly,ty

Im doing the same thing.. Push the headrest full forward, then lift hard to get past last indent in pole.. This worked for the front as well.. i also could not find a hole to push

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

There is a plastic cover, about 1 1/8" diameter, on the base of the post on each side. You can remove it with a screw driver by carefully prising upwards at the edge. They just clip down.
Once these are lifted away from the seat, you will see the wire clip that locks the headrest into the seat. Remove the clip on each post, and you can then remove the headrest.
Reassembly is the reverse.

press and keep holding the release button between top of seat and the headrest and pull the headrest all the way up
