whazen1 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I bought the Shelby GT500 headrests from Shelby and they delivered today. I thought it would be an easy installation but I don't seem to be able to remove the origional ones. I pushed the button and pulled them up very hard but they don't come out. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC2873 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 here's another suggestion......the foam inside the headrest should be wrapped in a plastic liner. If you have a high quality vacuum break out the best tool in the shop - duct tape and insert the nozzle of the vacuum hose into the plastic then tape excess plastic to nozzle w/ duct tape. Turn the vacuum on and a high quality vacuum will remove air from the foam making it easier to disassemble the headrest. If you are not ready to install the new headrest cover, then carefully remove the duct tape from the plastic liner so you can do the same when you are ready reinstall the new headrest cover.

whazen1 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Dave, I did not take pictures yet as I went out of town and left the car in the garage. As soon as I return, I will take pics. They look great and match perfectly. Will post real soon. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigotxnurse Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i purchased these as well. all you have to do is press the button on the side and use something like a paperclip to press the other side in and there you have it. The whole assembly comes right out like a hand from a glove. hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
