Headrest removal / camera mount?

[Kneale Brownson]

There are hairpin-type retainers through the chromed posts just beneath the
decorative cover to the holes.  If you pry around with a small, flat-bladed
screwdriver in GOOD light, you'll be able to recognize the end of a
pin.  If you push on the end sufficiently, it'll slide off the post.  But
be aware it'll fly off once released.  A clear plastic bag over the entire
assembly can help reduce the amount of time spent trying to find the pin.
