[s-cars] FW: How to remove Headrest?

I have removed the rear head supports from my urS6 but have not even looked
at the fronts.  The rears come off thusly:
1.      Pop off the plastic rings around the shafts where they enter the
seat back.  They simply slide up further onto the shaft and do not come
completely free - yet.  They are a snap fit onto the top of the seat back
socket tube which holds the shaft in position.
2.      Pull the retainer clips thus exposed free of the groove of the
socket tube which holds the shaft.  It looks a bit like a small retainer
clip from a small tractor mower lift blind bolt if that means anything to
you.  A pair of needle nosed pliers will likely be helpful for this operation.
3.      Repeat for the other shaft.
4.      Lift the head support upward with a curving motion (the shafts are
curved).
5.      Snap the retainer clips back in place in the groove of the socket
tubes so that the clips will not become lost through negligent vacuuming
practices.  :-)
6.      Slip the "decorative" plastic rings off the now free shafts and
snap them back onto the place where they came from.
7.      Store the newly removed rear head supports in a safe place so that
you may restore them to their original position in preparation for selling
the car whenever you may wish to do that someday in the far distant future.
8.      Be prepared to explain the removal process to the new owner who
will then most likely also remove the head supports in favor of better rear
vision.
