Bench-seat Head-rest ???
I have two factory bench seats, a 90 and a 91, both alike.
There are head-rests on both these seats.
The head-rest consists of a U-shaped steel rod, that slides in and out of the seat back, with the foam padding of the rest molded around the U-shaped top portion.
I can slide these steel rods up, until they stop at the upper limit.
How do I get them all the way out/loose from the seat, so that I can rebuild them??
Is there a hidden trigger; or, do I just yank hard and tear something up??
Thanks.

Mission Accomplished
I don't really know exactly which squeeze did it; but, after getting after those plastic bushings with some long-jawed needle-nose pliers, the rods sort of jumped out, rather ferociously.
For those that might be up against this, in the future, there is a notch on each rod, just inside the plastic bushings, on the in-board side.
There is a wire/spring, wrapped around the upper end of each plastic bushing, that (I think ) holds a portion of the bushing in that notch, when the rods are extended, stopping them from coming all the way out.
At least that is my theory.
