Ok.. if you're talking about the front headrests, then here goes.

Pull the headrests till as far as you can.. then at a point about a 3rd of the way down behind the seat (so if it's the drivers seat, you'll need to get in the backseat behind it) you'll fell a little button. You need to push that in to get the headrest to get past the final latch.

Same on the passengers side, but obviously you'll have to press the button on the back of the passengers seat, not the drivers seat.

As for the rear headrests, there is a button in the middle of the 2 holes (i think, from memory) that will operate the same as the one on the back of the front seats.

Let us know how you go.

And others feel free to chime in, I could be wrong on that.. been awhile since i've removed the headrests.

Cam.

Cam I believe you are correct. On my '79 car the release button for the front headrests is in line with the left support rod. It's not visible: you have to feel beneath the cover. On the back headrests the button is quite proud and easy to see.
