rear head rest

I have a 2010 F-150 super cab and when backing up the rear seat headrest on both sides blocks my ability to see the rear corners of the bed of the truck. I tried to extend and remove them but the two shafts are too long- the headrest hits the interior roof and they cannot be removed. So- it looks like I will need to remove the back of the seat in order to remove the headrest. Has anyone ever tried to remove the back of the rear seat?

Thanks

I read in another post on another site that if you extend the post to the ceiling, and pull the head rest forward - they should come out.

I have the crew cab and the head rest wont come out while the seats are in the down position. If you fold the seats up it puts them on an angel and can be removed.

like said above if you extend them all the way to the ceiling of the truck you can pull slightly forward on them and wiggle them out. This is what i did because i also could not see around them while backing up!

You can also fold down the back part of the back seat by pulling up on a pin. This may give you some additional room to remove the headrest.

Here is a link from another forum explaining how to do the backseat fold down:

Ive got a supercab with the same problem. I dont think mine will come out without unbolting the seat.

Im not too bothered by them though, since i primarily use the side mirrors when backing up. I really only use the rearview mirror when im moving forward to see cars behind me.

Looks like the link I posted was for a SCREW NOT a SCAB. I know there's one out there - I'll keep looking.

There IS a way to do it - just have to find it.
