Headrest removal How do you remove the headrest from a 2001 Cadillac DeVille front seat? We're trying to remove the seat cover from one seat and put it on another one.

Thanks for everyone trying to answer the question but on an ix35 the hedrest has a steel wire running through the adjustment bar and into the seat, I haven't yet found a way to get the headrest completely off, I can get the headrest partly off

Under seat cover?

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.

Lift the headrest up, unscrew the two plastic covers from the post and then pull the headrest up.

There should be a small button on top of of the seat,
where the headrest bar go's in. Press and hold the
button while you remove the headrest.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

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.

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.

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