    Head rests on D4

    I am trying to remove the head rests on the middle seats of a 7 seater in order to fold the seats forward and down to allow more space behind the front seats without cramping the front seating positions. I have removed one side however I can't remove the other two. Now I find that I can't lower them down again. They appear to be jammed on the metal support opposite the side where the release button is. I have dribbled a bit of CRC down the stalks to ne avail. Any thoughts or are they not supposed to be removed.

    Both sides have a release. The “other” side is flush.

    Tombie The steel uprights are jammed on the opposite side from the press to release button, when I wriggle them the side of the button is free and it is the other side that is jammed and that one will neither move up or down.
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Lindsay.

    Thanks Tombie, I found that other recessed button. But why on earth would they have one proud and the other one recessed, but I suppose only Land Rover would know?

    Lindsay, why not simply remove the seats you're not using? My suspicion is that if you remove the headrests you render the seats unroadworthy anyway. I've completely removed the third row seats (this is a serious job so only do it if you want them removed permanently) and, for trips, I remove two of the second row seats. You lighten the car a bit and create heaps of space. The second row seats can be removed/replaced quite easily.

    My object is to fold the middle seats down for more room for soft gear and if the headrests are in place, they restrict the front seats from moving back to where I like to drive from. That is the reason I want to temporarily remove them.
