Back head rest removal:
Use the push button on the right hand stem at the same time if you look at the left hand stem at the same place you will see a hidden button and you can press this with your finger nail.When you have worked this out press both and pull the h/rest out at the same time. Front H/Rest removal:
First open the seat back at the bottom and lift up. Inside you will see a bowden cable (like a bike brake cable). Disconnect this cable.
Lift the H/Rest up to it`s full hight. At the seat top and at the point that the H/Rest stem goes into the seat twist the black plastic caps and lift up. -Sit at the back of the seat and poke the foam away from the front at about 11 o`clock when you look down you should see a small round silver metal ring. This is the end of a fancy clip that is used to lock the stem into place. You will need to poke a small screwdriver into this ring and move it about 2mm to the left.This has to be done on both stems at the same time and again lift the H/Rest up to get out. Best to get help with this as you will need a light to shine down to see the clip`s, pull the h/rest up and move both clips at the same time.Do not move or bend the clips more than a few mm or its knackerd. Lift the plastic caps and have a look before you start
The clip is a strait wire on this side that locks into a cut in the H/Rest stem when you pull the H/Rest up and if you bend it or force it to far you will have a problem fitting it back. http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/content/dam/Vauxhall/Europe/united_kingdom/nscwebsite/uk/Home/pdf/Owners_Services/owners_manuals/VX%20Astra-J,%20Astra-J%20GTC%20OM_TS%201680-A-13.pdf
