anglwngss Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I have a 2009 Edge Limited. I'm not sure if it matters on the year of the vehicle, but thought I'd add. Anyway, it does have the small holes on the bottom of the headrests. I have tried the paperclip method, pushing in while pulling up. It didn't work. I tried with an allen wrench, pushing in while pulling up, didn't work. I tried with the engine running and the engine off. I simply cannot get them OUT.. Is there a different method? Did they change something in the 2009? Thanks for any ideas.. Naysayers need not comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a very small allen wrench and push in the little hole opposite of the button and pull it up. Works for me :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglwngss Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yep, That's what I tried. I even pushed in while hubby was pulling up, thinking strength might be an issue. They just don't budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempie Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 A pulling then pushing then wiggeling while pulling motion while the paperclip/allen wrench is moved around with pressure should release the clip. Strength should not be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesmays Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had the same issue on my 07 Edge. Don't laugh, but i used a small crochet hook (don't ask why i have one), inserted it into the hole and pulled out the small plastic piece, from then, it was a breeze to remove the headrest, as you could easily see where to insert the paper clip.
