    i can't get behind my 2018 rear headrest on my rear window. Does the head rest pull off? How do you do it
    I know it's a stupid question but I can't do it.
    Thanks

    I'm pretty sure mine slip right out if you adjust the height too far. 21 CM SR5

    On the left side of the left black grommet there's a button, press it and the headrest will pull up and fold down.

    That sounds more like it. My back seats have been out most of the time.

    I am going out this morning to try it
    What does op mean?
    It's like 930 am now so I'm going to try it today, you said just press the tab by the headrest? I hope that works. I will let you know
    Thanks for asking.

    You can simply pull it straight up as high as you can then it will fold forward (headrest folds down). The button on the side you have to press to get past detent points in the headrest rods. Hold that button in while pulling up and it will pull right out. Full access to the rear window

    Never even thought to clean behind them. Kind of out of sight out of mind. Now I might have to do it.
