stupid question probably, but can anyone tell me how to remove my headrests? i can pull them all the way up, but can't figure out how to remove them from the seat itself.

Feel down below the headrest peg on the back of the seat and there's a button you can feel through the seatback. Push hard on the button and then pull up on the headrest while still pushing the button.

 

thanks! Will give it a try today.

 

Left side.

 

Thanks guys. worked perfectly, found it right where you said it would be. I'm in the middle of an interior re-do, just took apart my passenger seat, and have the new leather on the bottom cushion now. Taking lots of pics, so i will post them all soon with a full report.

 

Thank you guys, that helped so much, too bad some retard got the seat cushions entangled in the bottom of the seats, I pulled everything out of coils but the drivers seat still does no move correctly

 

Can you please tell me exactly where it is? i cannot seem to locate it ... thank you for your help

 

Post #2 is about the best explanation there is.........
Without going over to your place with a laser pointer.

 

It's located here.

Loren, exactly which finger are you pointing with?

 

I actually was pointing with the "Mulroney Salute" finger but thought I would change it for the shot.

Nobby is such a funny, witty....Bitch..HAAAAAAAAA...too funny, for real...Special thanks to ScottinSoCal, Nobby and Ifedje!!! I was having the same issue and the complete tutorial for idiots like me worked perfectly! I KNEW that there was some magic button, but damned if I could find it..Um,.....on the seat, that is!

 

Nobby is a ....Bitch..HAAAAAAAAA...

Them's fighting words.

 

This came up when I Googled Bitch......

There is a slight resemblance.

There is a slight resemblance.

You should have Googled "A" bitch.


Not "MY" bitch.


Where do you think the forks are sticking out of?

 

...AND, the seat backs come off very easily (screws at the bottom). The release button location becomes very apparent; don't ask me how I know.

 

Button, button, who's got the button

Thanks to this thread I figured out how to pull the head rests up and out.

Was putting in new custom fit sheepskins (oh, they are SO comfy) and couldn't figure out how the head rests came out. I pushed and prodded and felt around.

Came here, and saw the finger photo...and BAM, success.

The button was REALLY tough to push in, I should add. Required Herculean strength (which I have, of course) to push all the way in.

Nonetheless, I now have some fantastic sheepskins (with head rests) installed on Ava, and she's a better girl for it.

I'll post photos tomorrow. Dark and stormy night right now here in The Lowcountry.

Cheers,

Anton, yes post some pictures - I'd like to see them.
Back in the 1980's I purchased some dark brown sheep skins (I have
dark brown interior) but did not like the way it looked.
Like to have some today -- that is if they don't damage the leather underneath.

Carl

way it looked.

 

New sheepskins

They took about 15 minutes to put in, had pre-made holes (and backing) for the headrests, and feel insanely great. Colour is called "Palomino" and they match the interior quite nicely.

Nice!

Folks here seem to have either a love them or hate them attitude toward sheepskins. I'm in the former camp, myself. A thick woolen hide is comfortable in any temperature extreme, looks better IMO than any seat cover, and (most importantly) protects and preserves the looks of the leather seats beneath them.

If they're not there already, a small vertical slit in each of the outboard sides will allow you to poke the backrest release knob through and will then close behind it.

Enjoy the comfort, bud!

Good road,

Nice sheepskins, where did you get them?
Thanks,

Pics are awesomely helpful.

 

True that. But back in the day...no one had a cell phone camera......most used digital cameras that had to be uploaded to your computer yadda yadda.

Now everyone takes pics and posting them is much simpler.
