Has anyone done this? For some reason mine to not want to come up out of the seat...almost like its caught on something after the normal adjustments.

 

I don't think they come out. At least I couldn't get mine out either.[:@]

 

man...there is a guy on here with custom coverec rests...i guess he just recovered them without removing.

 

Thats probly me. I just got them embroidered. The whole headrest doesn't come off, but the covers do. On the bottom there is a seam and you just have to get it separated. Raise the headrest up as far as it will go. There is a plastic clip that like interlocks. Once that is separated just pull em off. Just work them back and forth to get them off. I hope thats what you wanted to know.

 

How hard was it to put the new cover back on? I love the way yours look, red leather right?

 

Yeah i know for a fact that they don't come off. When i bought mine i asked the saleperson if they come out and he said they do. I tried again and told him i couldn't get them out. So he gave it a try and never got it out but managed to break in the process. It's okay though, I'll let Ford buy me parts all day long.

 

Yeah red leather. I thought it was easier to put them back on than to take them off.

 

Yeah, they do come out!

LOOK at where the headrest joins to the seat, there's a rectangular piece of plastic... on e side of it has a "button" that you press in to adjust height

OK, now looking at the opposite side of the same piece of plastic, there's a hole... PUSH A PEN INTO THE HOLE, push the button on the other side and pull headrest out

no brainer

 

Interesting, ill give that a try tomorrow.

 

yup...little button on the plastic thing that your finger is too large to push. I thought I would never get those headrests off to get my seat covers on. I used a small allen wrench.
