Anyone know how to get these headrest guides out? This is the last step before having the cover completely off...

Pull up really hard. They just pop out, but its easier to pop the little cover off like you did on the left side, and peel the leather over them. The leather stretches enough and wont tear. Think of it like unbuttoning a shirt button. Just be gentle.

Thanks! I gained some courage and stretched the leather around the tops of the headrests. Both recaro and stock seats completely undone right now!

Pull hard . When your knuckles are bleeding, you're half way. Look with my user name for info on swapping sedan to avant recaro. Or look for Avanttix.

I was trying to use Avanttix's album but half the photos aren't loading; it says they are temporarily unavailable. I will search for yours though. Thanks!
Since the headrest guides were the same between seats, I just slipped the foam and leather over the top. No problem.
