If they are like my '01 Sub, you'll find a small hole on the plastic mounting base of each headrest post. I'm referring to the rectagular plastic piece at the top of the seatback, into which slide the headrest posts. You should see a small hole on the side of each plastic base. You'll need a stiff piece of wire that fits into the hole; I use a small allen wrench. Raise the headrest to its highest position. Then insert/press the wire into the hole, while pulling up on the headrest. It should release from the last detent and slide up slightly. Once you've done each of the 2 posts, the headrest just lift out of the seat.

I too was surprised that better instructions weren't readily available, especially since the 2nd row seat doesn't fold down easily if the front seat if back on its track.

: 2002, C2500. Barebone, 9 passenger, cloth interior, 1st row bench, 2nd row 40/60 split, 3rd row one piece. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the seat head rests out on the 2nd and 3rd row seats. Owner's manual only talks about head rest removal on bucket seats. I can't see anything that releases the head rest posts once the head rest is all the way up. I am either having a mental/vision/handy block or the head rests are fixed and not removable.
: Can anyone explain???
