Default Rear Seat Headrest removal Help Please

I searched the site for some info on how to remove the rear head rests.

I have 2 little Kiddos and there car seats don't sit flat on the bottom of the seat because the back of the car seats are hitting on on the front of the rear seat head rests.

Anyone know how to take these off without damaging the headrests?

At some point in time I plan to put them back on when my girls are old enough to ride in a booster.

Thanks for the help!

on the 2-door you can pull them off completely but the 4-door versions they only fold down. There are some suggestions for rigging them to stay down but IIRC, taking them off (without cutting them off) is a major hassle.

try searching or maybe someone will post a link.

Thanks guys, I should have read closer......found the link after I posted the ?

I'm torn between just folding the headrests backwards or taking them completely off.......it didn't look to hard to take off..might just go that route.

Thanks again,

Aaron

Look at post #47.......That's what I did, used the bungees and it works great with the kids boosters seats - - and gives me the flexibility for adult riders and protects my trade-in value/safety features.
