Doctorg23 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Has anyone been able to successfully remove the 3rd row headrests to properly install a car seat? The manual says the 3rd row seats are "fixed and cannot be removed", but I find that hard to believe in a family car where you want to install car seats. A car seat website said you can put a pin in the little holes on the headrest insertion site to remove them. Not sure I want to test this out though and was hoping someone may have had some experience with this already. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!

fordtech1 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thats how to remove them. Use a paper clip. Also, take it by the dealer, they will remove them for you if youre not comfortable doing it. Ive done several for folks as a courtesy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLew Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Anyone find out more info on this? I tried to take my third row headrests out on my BL and couldn't get them out. Took it to the dealer and they said they would have to remove the seat covers to get them out since the headrest drop function is electronically controlled.

Took it to the dealer and they said they would have to remove the seat covers to get them out since the headrest drop function is electronically controlled. I gave up. I was able to install the seats with them pushing against the headrest very firmly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 You know I didnt think about them being release electrically. Thats a different animal. I was thinking the standard headrest with manual adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddiquiclan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Anybody figure out how to get the 3rd row headrests out? I tried the paperclip in the holes, but it wasn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
