Can't remove headrest

I have a 2000 GMC Sierra.  I bought it used and the previous owner installed seat rests.  I want to take them off to wash them, but I can't get the headrests off of the seats.   There are no buttons to let the rest come off, so they just go up and down. I tried plain old force, but that didn't work.  
Is there a hidden button somewhere that I am not seeing?

    i figured it out.  On this model, there is a small hole at the base of the headrest posts.  You have to use a nail/pin to push inside the hole to release each post - then the pull right out!

I'm not positive about that model, but some of them had a button that you pushed built right into the seat, right beside where the shaft for your headrest goes in. Just push beside the shaft on either side of the post with your thumb.

How to remove the headrest on a 1992 GMC 1500 Sierra?

most just pull up it may take some force to get it by the lock ring. other wise look around the area that the head rest rods enter the set and look for a lock release button that you push while pulling up on the head rest.

Whyi canti fols back down the back steat in my gmc sierra

those have bad handles. Take the handle off by using the proper torx bit and check the stud for full operation of the seats potential by using a pair of visegrips carefully crimping the end of the stud and then pull to check movement sometimes the bolts on the inside of the seat come loose for the back rest and need tightened.

How to remove headrest on 2006 sebring

Just removed them on a 2005 Sebring sedan. Easier with two people but one can manage just fine. The trick is a tiny hole in the plastic "sleeves" that the metal posts on the headrest slide into. You'll need a small poking device-Allen wrench, drill bit, tiny screw driver, whatever. The hole is on the right side of the right side sleeve on each headrest (as you're sitting in the back seat facing forward) and is perpendicular to the direction the metal rods go into the sleeves. Insert your small poker and depress the plastic button on the other plastic sleeve simultaneously while your helper pulls up on the headrest.

How to remove the head rest from 2002 GMC sierra pickup truck seat.

HELLO; If you will look on the side where the head rest goes into the seat (the base) you will see a hole on each side. Get a drill bit the size of the hole push in and pull up a little till you feel that side release then do the other side. Have the headrest all the way up when you do this.

I'm trying to remove the headrest on my 2003 mustang front seat.

On the part that you squeeze to raise the head rest is a little hole on the inside between the 2 bars. You need to push a paper clip or something like that in the hole to release the stop and keep pushing as you lift. Once that is done then you can pull the rest out.

Good luck
