I have RTFM and tried to remove my headrests to fit my new airbag compliant seat covers.

I have pushed the little button thingies but I can't seem to remove the headrest, even when pushing the button and pulling the headrest. I am unable to remove either the fronts or rears.

Anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I have had some of mine of as i recall, passenger and rear of driver for some reason...

I think they were just tough to persuade.... oh and isn't there a second catch on the other post, less visible?

I'll check when i next get in...

There is another catch on the opposite side. It is indented and you need to press in with your fingernail/ knife/ screwdirver and pull headrest out at the same time. The one you are refering to lets the headrest up, the other (indented catch) gets the headrests out (stupid).

No! I didn't mean you stupid. Stupid design. Have spent many frustrating times removing headrests so i can put baby seats in rear. Pain in the sometimes as they can be difficult to remove even when you know what you are doing.

Cheers anyway glad to help.
