O.K. folks - I'd like to drop the rear seat backs (have a crew cab) so I don't have to rest "stuff" on the seats themselves but..........when I do that (pull the seat bottom forward and drop the backs) the head rests stick in to the back of the front seats. I can move the seats forward but, damn.......I've got to move them forward quite a bit so driving is very uncomfortable!

I've tugged and yanked and pulled at those head rests and I can not get them off the backs of the seats.......anyone know the trick to this?

Thanks, in advance, for any replies. Jim R.

Use a 90 degree pick and release the retainer at the base...
