how can you remove Caterham headrests
Discussion
Hi
Just joined and have a Caterham CSR260 with leather seats. I bought a tonneau cover with the car but can't see how it can be fitted without removing the headrests and worse still I can't see any way of removing the headrests. Does anyone know how to remove the Caterham headrests?

Many thanks for very swift (seven-style) responses Porkbrain, GedG and Tango7. I have just been outside to try to pull them out with no joy, I think even Arnold Schwarzenegger whould be challenged and end up ripping the entire seat out!
I think the best option is going to be having them altered by Oxted of Softbitsforsevens, two companies I had never heard of before so many thanks for the information. I will Google them for addresses with a view to posting the tonneau cover down to them for alteration (I live in Scotland).
This appears to be a very useful forum, thanks for the help guys.

Hi Steve
The car is only a month old and built by Caterham. I contacted Caterham and they confirm that they are difficult to remove and best solution would be to have the tonneau altered, which is what I have decided to do because the headrests just will not budge. It is however interesting to know how the headrests are held in place because with any "normal" car there is usually a release button ... but then Caterhams ain't normal ;-)
Some guys here recommended either Oxted or Soft Bits For Sevens to have headrest pockets fitted, Oxted charge £82 and SBFS charge £55 (inc p&p), so I have parceled it up and sent it off to SBFS. The tonneau cost £125 new from Caterham, if I had known about SBFS I would have bought one of theirs instead for £105 + £10 p&p
