Front Headrests

[Sabaku]

Received two 1500 front headrests. They go into the slots 2-3 inches and then won't descend any further. Any tricks or thoughts how to fully insert them.

Thanks

Gotta shove them down in there pretty tough

Same with mine

Still no luck there is a small hole on the setback do I need to insert something in there to get them to slide in?

No you don’t have to all that does is allow you to take the seat backs off a little easier. Which in turn you could see what the headrest is getting stuck on if you did take it off use a Phillips head screw driver in the hole

So you don’t need to do anything but push the new ones really hard to get them to go all the way down?

The tabs add a lot of tension , I broke one trying to get mine in . I ended up taking my tabs off and they have been fine no rattles , I can remove them now if needed without removing the seat back and that is a job in itself.

I removed the tabs from both headrests and that did make it easier to install. The headrests will not rattle and will not move even without the tabs. I used a dremel cut off wheel to remove the tabs.
