Front Seat Headrest

I'm trying to install new seat covers on a 2008 Yukon. I cannot figure out how to remove the headrest. I've used a paperclip in the hole on one post but nothing happens. Can you help me??

How to remove headrest in 2008 buick lucerne

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

Remove 2012 headrest malibu

I have a 2012 malibu and looked this same thing up because I just put on a seat cover, on the driver's side head rest, looking at it from the back seat on the driver's side, there's the normal looking latch that let's you adjust the headrest down, but on the right side you'll see a little indentation in the plastic that you can also push down and if you press both at the same time, you can remove the headrest.

How to remove front seat headrest on a 2008 Ford Escape? Have new seat covers and need to be able to remove them to install.

There is a Pin hole on one side of the headrest in the plastic base. You have someone put a small Allen wrench in the hole till it presses against the metal spring and also on the release on the other side, then pull the headrest out. You will have to press on the spring to put the head rest back in also.

How can I remove front row seat headrest?

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

Front Headrests

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.

Headrest removal

Look at the top of ur seat, between the two shafts of ur headrest. Beside one of the posts is a black plastic base on which one side has a button u push. That allows u to remove the headrest. U might have to jimmy side to side a bit as they are somewhat hard to remove at times, just do so with ur finger pushing the release mechanism.

Toyota tacoma headrest removal

There should be a button on the base of the headrest to raise & lower it. Push the button, and lower it. With the button pushed, raise the headrest, and pull hard. They ARE tight.
