    My 2015 was stolen a few months ago, and I fortunately got it back yesterday with no damage. Or at least that's what I thought. Today I discovered that the thieves had put one of my back seat headrests in backwards and it's completely immovable. I usually keep the back seats down, so I need to pull out this headrest. I've tried everything I can think of including wedging a 2x4 under it and trying to pry it out. It will not budge at all. Any advice anyone could give me would be most appreciated!

    This is easy and even in your owners manual. There is a really small pin hole you have to push something in that hole it will release them. It's on the plastic part where the release button is but I think the opposite one.
