MGB Headrest Removal & Seat Belt Guide Installation

This video covers the headrest removal on my 1973 MGB roadster and the installation of a seat belt guide. The headrest is notoriously difficult to remove. I was worried I would rip my new headrests --- and thought it might be helpful to others if they could watch someone before they undertook the project

Got it up right where it catches. No dice. Catching on something stronger than me. Metal on metal.😢

Just don't do what I did and install your headrest in backwards when you put on the belt guide (DUH). The above method worked nicely to remove it once I realized I did that. The lever is on the wrong side of the headrest post and won't disengage the headrest!! BTW I have a 1977 MGB.

Any thoughts on how to remove the headrest with the seat out of the car??

Thanks I was looking to get headrest off my seat.

There is a lever on the inside, side of each seat. If you push that lever to the rear of the car you can tip your seat forward and backward. AND if you push that lever to the rear of the car, you can pull your headrest right out smooth as butter.

That's a stupid thing to say, when people are trying to make things better,and you give a bullsch suggestion as that!
