Twist the lower black piece that is on the seat where the headrests slot in. Can't remember which way but you should be able to work it out from there

Cheers

one of the black things turns the other doesnt, make sure your playing with the one with the arrows on it. does it actually lift up as if its goin to come out or does it feel like the poles are moving in the headrest?

I twist the sucker (fully) and lift - when it's in the Upper possie - it's like it's locked in place again

keep twisting it..It should come out. If not..jiggle the headrest. Mine gets a bittempremental at times.. usually when I tilt the back and leave the headrests in.. so it leans against the front seats.

Hope this helps!
