Headrest removal?
Reply #4 –
Since that old post was before "the troubles", the attachments seem to be missing. The flat headrest shaft has a horizontal groove cut in it near the bottom. There's a big spring clip attached to the seat frame that drops into that groove to keep the shaft from coming out. The slim-jim or blade creates a "bridge" over the groove that keeps the clip out.
