I am Trying to install the seat belt holder accessory in my 2007 525xi wit the hope that my seat belt will stop getting stuck in the door. Does anyone know how to remove the headrests? I have raised them all the way up and tried to pull them out, all to no avail.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Just keep the button pressed and tap it hard upwards.

I have tried several times to remove it by holding the button and pulling or hitting the headrest upwards but cannot get it to work. I even got my strongest, body building employee to assist and still could not do it. Any other suggestions?

No, I don't have comfort seats. Everything I've read just says pull harder but if my buddy would have pulled harder he might have pulled the seat off the floor!
