Interior of my car
I am reupholstering my seats, having a hard time getting off the headrests on the front bucket seats. I have a 1989 5.0 convertible. I just don't want to damage the seats getting the headrests off.
Thanks

Headrest removal
There is a flat spring that pops into a notch in the headrest mount bar. There is one crook in the top part of that flat spring and one crook in the bottom part of the spring. If you stick the hacksaw blade in the front side of the headrest, it will keep the crook from popping into the notch on the headrest mount bar. Then you can slide the headrest all the way out
