T/A seats headrest removal? Has anyone actually taken off the whole headrest? (not the headrest fabric/leather covers) My passenger seat headrest pulls right off the seat instead of ratcheting itself higher or lower. I think some parts inside have broken.
Is there an easy fix???

Have you personally remove the seat back? I'm only asking because I don't want to start taking the seatback apart only to find out there's more involved.
Yea, easy work. No issue loosing parts or things flying out, ...
The headrests do have a retaining mechanism in there to prevent them from coming all the way out.
Anyone with some mechanical aptitude can do this in a matter of a few minutes.
If ya need parts, check a local salvage yard, or some of the other online F-body salvage businesses. Or your local GM dealer if necessary.
Maybe you'll get lucky & the parts are still there & simply 'fell out of place'.

I have no instructions on how to take apart the seat so I wanted to make sure I won't run into a part that will prevent re-assembly once I get started. Hopefully it's something I can fix without ordering parts.
Likely the lil "C like clip" fell off the head rest "rods" for a better word, the clips are what stops the headrest(s) from coming all the way out of the seat. Easy to work on, just be patient.
