Hey guys, the driver's headrest has been stuck in the full-down position since we got the car. Now that spring should be approaching soon I was hoping someone would have a trick for making it release or something. There is a little sideways lock switch thing on one of the posts but while that does move it doesn't seem to affect the locked-edness of the post.

 

Any hints or tricks?

 

thanks in advance!:cool:

well went out and checked my legacy and i have a sideways leaver that lets you unlock it so it can go "down" which means you should be able to pull it up and have no problem but you do so i would guess maybe it was pushed in to much so i would try wiggling it hard or if you really need it out maybe "pry bar"? lol hopefully it doesn't take that much force anyways good luck.

I'm going to give it a try again one of these days. And this time I'm taking a crowbar with me. Every time I drive the car I'm afraid for my neck because the headrest in the down position only goes up to the bottom of my head... right in that good spot where the spinal cord and skull join... that CAN'T be a good place to take a hit
