Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Head restraints are the double-post type that are adjustable up or down. Only the solid-type head restraints have serviceable trim covers.
Use J 42372 in order to remove the head restraints. The rear seat head restraint has only 1 locking post.
- Raise the head restraint to a full up position.
- Push the head restraint down just far enough in order to center the locking clip (4) in the guide between the detents on the posts (3).
- Insert J 42372 down the detent side of the post (3).
- Hold the tool down, and at the same time, lift the head restraint upward in order to disengage the detent (3) from the guide (4).
- Lift the restraint out.
