Default Removal of driver seat headrest

Does anybody knows how to remove a driver seat headrest? Hidden button in the seat doesn't seems to allow a full removal of the headrest - only adjustment. Can someone post some instructions with pictures if possible.

just pull on it. all the headrests are attached the same way. only difference is that the driver's seat has a motor attached.

the button is for manual adjustment, but the driver side headrest is supposed to move in concert with how you adjust your seat automatically.

I was told by a few that the driver side has a retaining clip that holds it in, the rear of the driver seat needs to be removed in order to get to the clip.

Really lame question - but how do you adjust the height of the driver's side headrest- I don't recall if these is a button on the side of the seat that adjusts the height of it, but i was trying to adjust it the other day adn couldn't do so..the passenger side has a button below the headrest that allows manual adjustment

It is quite funny, I was pushing the button and was waiting for a motor to move the headrest. There is no motor. Push the button and move it up and down with your hands. I never removed it though.

No motor on the headrest, after all its not a MB e-class there is a hidden button for driver seat head rest manual adjustment.

There is a tiny button just to the right of the headrest (if you are sitting behind the drivers seat). You can push that to manually adjust the headrest. I don't think there is a button to control it with the motor, not sure why??

The motor seems to only work when the seat is adjusted, the headrest will auto adjust to the position of the seat recline.

The button is very hard to see, it is right on top of the seat just to the right of the headrest.
