Head rest support locking tabs - can they be removed??

Hey Guys,
Can the plastic locking tabs (highlighted in yellow) be removed from front bucket seats? I can remove the head rest with no problems, but I don't see a way to remove the plastic tabs. I was going to place a flat head screw driver underneath and see if they pop out, but I don't want to damage them if they are a permanent part of the seat.
Appreciate your input.

Yes they can, when we replaced the seats to leather you have to take them out.

 

Hey Tashcomer, Appreciate the fast response. So do you just pry them out and tab them back in??
**Off subject...Love the Fallout pic. I spend waaayyyy to many hours playing that game. It's like crack

 

I would think so as I didn't take them apart myself haha.
And great! Honestly haven't played in a long time. Feel free to join us on the fallout thread
