woo-hoo halo headrests!!! now... April 06, 2006, 07:52:39 PM How do I get my friggin old headrests off!?!?!? I tried yanking em off, no dice. Sticking a screwdriver in there... too round. Shaking em... nothing... sticking the screwdriver back in there... hmmm... it seems to be getting worse. What is the proper procedure here? After years of searching and giving up I finally got my own set of halos and now I can't even get put them in. Interior parts always kick my arse before I end up destroying them. =/Hizzelp. :D Quote Selected
woo-hoo halo headrests!!! now... Reply #1 – April 06, 2006, 08:16:56 PM When I removed the seat skins from the seats in my '96, the headrests were held in with clips. The clips are only accessible when the seat skin is removed (and foam). Are the Fox seats the same? I have NO idea... but it's worth investigating. Quote Selected

Reply #5 – April 06, 2006, 10:30:39 PM Yeah, you'll have to do as they indicated, and take your upper seat skins off to access the headrest clips, it's not a bad job, either...BTW, what did ya get your halo headrests from?I got a set of seat from my escort GT, that I'm gonna pull out of my mud truck, and put away.(while their still clean) Quote Selected

woo-hoo halo headrests!!! now... Reply #8 – April 07, 2006, 10:12:31 AM At the bottom of the headrest shaft (front side) there is a horizontal groove to which a spring loaded tab recesses into. By sliding a Slim Jim (or hacksaw blade) down the "front" of the headrest (headrest all the way up) at this point the tool being used will bottom out. Push down with alittle more pressure while slowly pushing the headrest down 2"-3", this will force the blade past the tab....at this point while holding the blade in place the headrest will pull right out.
