removing headrests for re-upholstery project

Post by wallace johnston »

I want to replace the leather upholstery on the driver side seat on my 960. The leather covered head rests defy my attempts to remove so the new/repaired seat back replacement can be accomplished.

The seat head rests seem to have a zipper closure underneath but, the zipper ends are hidden by a plastic end cap on either side.

My daughter has a 740 estate in which the rear seat head rests come out easily when you want to fold the back seats down for more cargo room BUT, I cannot find any "button, latch, or lever" to get the 960 headrests out.

HELP!!

This might help, although it's for back headrests:
Remove 2 Remaining Headrests--Take out 2 bolts w/ 10mm heads, each side, remove reinforcement plates, withdraw headrests and set aside.
