Need a little help here fellas.

Trying to put the TMI covers on my 79 Super front seats. Got the bottoms done without trouble, but for the life of me can't figure out how to remove the headrest from the seat back. Extends fully, then locks. Can't find a release button anywhere. Don't want to ruin the tubes as my search for an answer to removing them led me to discover they are hard to come by.

Also how does the seatback release button come off? Again, I don't wanna just start prying and bust them up.

Any help here is much appreciated.

You just pry it off... carefully.
