Cannot remove back seat headrests for 98 328i

GM headrests are essentially the same. Lower the seat as low as possible to allow enough headroom to remove the headrest. Next raise the headrest, push in the exposed button on one side of the 2 headrest pins that go into the seat. Notice on the other pin is a button that is flush to the plastic hole cover. This is the release button. Press this button in and the adjustment button at the same time and push up on the headrest. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQJGaWOJDw4

Raise the headrest to its maximum height. Examine the plastic covers the headrest posts stick out of. You are looking for a slide button or a pin hole on the side of the mounting hole.
If there isn't a release button or pin hole they are under a trim cover.
With a small flat screwdriver gently lever the small round cover upwards. This should reveal the release trigger.
If there is no slide button, look for a pin hole on the side of the mount. Unfold a paper clip and insert it into the pin hole. You should hit resistance, move the headrest and paper clip around and the headrest should release and slide out.

theres normally a little button on the side you press on the plastic base where the stem of the headrest goes in, you press that as you lift the headrest up and out of the seat, hope this helps

Tracy, Some just pull straight up and out, there may be a pin hole, lever or button just under head rest which will release and allow head rest to be pulled up or pushed down, it does take some force as they do like to get stuck.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

I have a 2012 malibu and looked this same thing up because I just put on a seat cover, on the driver's side head rest, looking at it from the back seat on the driver's side, there's the normal looking latch that let's you adjust the headrest down, but on the right side you'll see a little indentation in the plastic that you can also push down and if you press both at the same time, you can remove the headrest.

There is a Pin hole on one side of the headrest in the plastic base. You have someone put a small Allen wrench in the hole till it presses against the metal spring and also on the release on the other side, then pull the headrest out. You will have to press on the spring to put the head rest back in also.

there should be a button you push in under the headrest on the top of the seat

When you lift the headrest to the up position on the plastic sleves at the bottom of the metal rods for the headrest you should find a small hole on one side.Take a small pin or nail and push in the hole and lift up that will release the headrest
