Supplies:
~ eye glass flat head screwdriver
~ towel, rag, etc.
~ some sort of soap i.e. dish soap
Instructions:
01. Sit in the rear seat facing the front seat you will be removing the head rest from
02. Lean the front seat back so you are looking down at the head rest
03. Pull the head rest up as far as it will go
04. Take a small flat head screwdriver and slide in into one of the holes surrounding the head rest poles
05. Move it around until you feel some resistance (if you're lucky, you might be able to move the fabric a little and actually see the clip you need to remove)
06. Wiggle the screw driver around until the clip pops out (it may take a while, but eventually it will pop out)
07. Repeat steps 4-6 for the second head rest pole
*NOTE: The following steps are only necessary if you wish to remove the seat belt guides.*
08. Once you get the head rest off, turn it upside down and you will see two very thin metal discs holding the seat belt holder onto the head rest, you need to remove these
09. Take a screwdriver and pry up on the discs
10. Once you get the discs up a little bit, put some soap on the head rest poles
11. Take a towel and start twisting the discs, continue doing this until they slide off
*NOTE: After I did this "mod" my head rests did not stay up because I did not re-install the clips. If you want to be able to have your head rests stay in the upright position, make sure to re-install the clips.*
