Rear Head rest removal ??

I have a 2016 F350 super cab and I can't figure out how to remove the rear head rest. Short of taking out my sawsall and cutting them off. Does anyone know how to get them off... Thanks

I have a 2016 Superduty Crew cab, and they were a bear to get out. If I remember I had to push the small buttons on the inside of the metal posts simultaneously and pull upward with a lot of force. Don't know if the same as yours.

Yep, push the small buttons on each post at the same time and push up with the side of your hand. Not easy, but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

There are no little buttons to push...My old F150 had the buttons this doesn't. The headrest have holes in them to see-through . I can't find any buttons

do a search.. video .. for 2016 XL.or XLT... using a 18 inch screwdriver.. 2 clips way down the rear of bench upper seat. to unlock upper rear seat.

then the head rests are bolted to rear wall..
that is how the 2012 XL is done

you do not state what level of trim package your truck has.

In your last picture where you're holding down the cushion, it almost looks like that bracket holding the headrest is bolted to the back of the cab. If so, may have to pull off the back of the seat to get at the bolts.

No I can get my finger between the bracket and wall... But I might have to pull out seat back.

I can see why you would want to remove them. They look like they would block your view quite a bit, not to mention that they are hideous.

Head rest gone

I found a video on you tube and they showed how to remove seat back once seat back was removed just had to unbolt headrest. Much nicer with out them. Don't need them no
one sits back their but the dog.
