ps still be gentle when prying the cap and make sure u snap it back on real good. it has 3 groves that need to be snapped down

still or cant figure it out then just go through with all the steps noted before. it just depends what you want and how much time you have.. ie i only wanted the headrest to be flush down so i went through all the steps on the passenger side and cut the steps in half for the driver side whatever works for you. if you pull up on it then it'll snap back in place and you will have to do it again
Yep indeed you can skip the 1st two steps, I covered that in another post. The reason I did the whole thing is I want to be able to remove my headrests so I wanted the clamp off on the stem.

Good job and thanks for adding. Headrests Lookin much better.
