headrest question

I have a bench seat in the back , both of the headrest are in the up position ,I can't seem to get them down , I feel as though I am about to break em if I try any harder , what am I doing wrong here?Any help would be useful.

I had this issue too with my bench in the back (we both have Centurions YAY!!) and I just gave it a little muscle DIRECTLY down on the top, it eventually budged. You can try wiggling it and pushing etc etc. I don't believe theres any trick and I couldn't find a release button... Kind of a bad design if you ask me... Hey speaking of which, does your bench fold forward/recline backward??

NO ,it only slides forward a little , and I mean a little, took alot to get a subwoofer behind it , only a slim one at that. Looks like it can't be stolen , so thats a plus , but if it ever goes bad I will have to take the seat out to get to it. wish it folded forward. As far as the headrest goes I'll just muscle em down.

Yeah man, I've got 2 super skinny 10s that I used to use in my 94 reg cab F150 and I can't even get those behind the seat, its lame. I don't know why they didn't make the bench recline, what a rip.

Me and the installer put the sub on the seat ,then pulled the seat forward. It finally got in there, at first I didn't think it was gonna go but once we got it in we were able to slide the seat back enough for adults to have leg room, it's a Kicker enclosed 10" , only one that would fit, sounds great.

Yeah I already tried squeezing it down the top. If I REALLY forced it I might be able to get it down in there but its like 1-2 full inches of overlap. Not like one of those "cmon cmon cmon it's almost there!!!" situations. More like an "ohh.... yeah ***** that"
