How do you remove the front headrest from a 2012 Cruze?

Answer 1

On most cars theres a lever that you push and it can adjust hieght.But older cars no.

2012 Cruze has two types of headrest, the rear have a button release on BOTH posts in order to fully remove the headrest. The front headrest does not have a second button as it is not intended to be removed. HOWEVER ..... if you look closely at the side that does not have a button, there is a very small hole. Use a small allen wrench, slide it into the hole to release the locking mechanism. You must also hold in the button on the other side and pull up on the headrest all at the same time. The headrest will slide right out. Do not drive the vehicle with the headrest removed. I only needed to remove the headrest to install a seat cover.
