For 2004 crown Vic removing the headrest is not as he mentioned earlier. One side they have push button and other side no push button. There is a metal clip under the plastic cover. If you press the cushion near the plastic cover you will see the metal clip, use a screw driver to pull the clip all way out then the headrest will come out. When you put back , put the clip first then push the head rest down. I did it now.

90% of head rests just pull out. the others will have a button where the headrest goes into the seat. If yours doesn't have the button, then push the headrest down and **** it up with some force and it will come out. Just be carefull you don't hit yourself in the face with it. Been there done that

The outside door handles do not open the door on front doors

You probably have a linkage rod disconnected. Don't stress out! Remove clips with flat screwdriver, remove other hold down hardware & expose the area in question. Check for repairs needed. You may have to disconnect wiring connections to get panel out of the road. Good luck!

Headrest removal on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria LX

If you unscrew the black pieces around the posts, lift them up and pull back gently on the seat material. There are 2 wire clamps around each post. Simply use a flathead screw driver and stretch the clamp to release the headrest.

Head Restraints Each front seat is equipped with dual-post design front seat back head restraint (611A08). The front seat back head restraint is installed as follows:

  • The front seat back spring assembly retains the front seat head rest guide rod sleeve (610A16).
  • The front seat back head restraint is adjustable from its normal position to a raised position of approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
  • Pull up on the front seat back head restraint to raise it. Pushing down will return it to its normal position.
