Does anybody know the trick to getting the headrests out of this style of Scheel seat?

I have them in my car. I'd like to free up the head rests. The posts are either welded, or bolted in. I've looked inside and short of tearing them down, I can't see anything that is keeping them locked in.

There doesn't seem to be any "lock" at the top escutcheons, I've looked.

I don't think anyone has found a way to get them out. Mine are in and don't go up either.

Nothing to indicate whether these sold...
Any idea what they are /were worth?

When I saw your post I was wondering if sold too. I decided to call the number listed in the first posting. He said they sold for $2000.

Always keeping my eye out for some.

They must have made two models. My headrests remove easily....

I know once I tear them apart to have them redone, it will be obvious what is holding the inner head rest shafts in the seat tubes.

Frustrating.

If and when you do...please post the solution if there is one, my headrests have been stuck down for the past 10yrs

I seem to recall that when they did slide up and down, one of the two head rest posts was notched like there was a catch in there somewhere, but it's been so long I dont recall which post (left or right) had them. I've yanked on mine pretty hard trying to get them to release and nothing...
