How do I replace the plastic headrest guides/inserts? (1 Viewer)

[MTKID]

I have a couple of these to replace and thought it would be easy, but the process is eluding me. I tried a few searches, but only found leather seat cover threads. BTW, these are both on the second row, which I tried to start unzipping the back to access them from inside, and that wasn't easy either since the zipper tab points in!

Thanks in advance,
Micah

The leather pulls off after you remove a few hog rings. You might try an upholstery shop if the aggrevation level gets too high!

Thanks gotmud, I was hoping there was a trick to it without removing the leather since it seems there are quite a few screws also involved before the middle row leather comes off. But, I am patient, so I will pull it.

Thanks again,
Micah

You do have to get behind/underneath them. There's a screw at the bottom of the headrest mount that you will need to access. My driver's seat needs replacement. I did some expiratory surgery but aborted because I didn't have the part.
