Headrest adjuster clip missing

Bought my '02 Xtracab about 6 months ago and noticed the passenger seat was missing the push-in button to allow adjustment of the headrest. Trying to replace it but apparently the specific clip is discontinued. Found a link to this dealership that sells the part online. Can someone help confirm if this is the correct part?

Get your part through camelback toyota @gunny1005 is a maestro of parts, and there is a TW discount.

 

@gunny1005 is this something you have on hand I could order from you?

 

He's been super busy last I heard - might do better sending him a PM directly or email. his full contact info is listed under his signature. https://www.tacomaworld.com/members/gunny1005.126307/#info

 

Just did a quick search on their site, it looks like that is going to be one of those parts where you definitely need confirmation on fitment. This is what I came up with (differs from your part#):

 

I need one of these too, I’d assume this is one of the generic parts that is probably used between several vehicles. Does anyone own a tundra or four runner that could see if they are the same?

 

Both parts look like they could be the one, so you're right about needing confirmation. I'll try PM'ing him since he's been busy. Thanks for the info!

 

Glad I'm not the only one missing this piece. I guess it just popped out with the previous owner. And he probably wasn't as OCD about it, but if I can get it replaced it's likely a cheap fix.

 

Yea same here it bugs me when something is not right or missing, let us know if you find one though

 

How does one remove and reinstall that adjuster??? I tried a few years ago but for some reason that I cannot recall I wasn't able to remove it.

 

When I track down a replacement part I will follow-up with you in this thread and let you know.

 

I need one (or two) looking forward to follow up.

 

It’s a real bitch to change these, I’ll say that. To remove the entire clip and bezels, I had to remove the seat back, hog rings holding the upholstery to the seat, remove the foam mass backing, and finally pop the clip out.

I basically had to disassemble the entire seat. The ring snaps into a metal tube that can’t be accessed from the outside.

 

Thanks for shedding some light on this for us. Had a bad feeling it wouldn't be easy access. I got confirmation from @gunny1005 that the part is discontinued, and he also provided the part number if we're lucky to find one out there from a non-dealership:
71930-02010-P0 (charcoal)
71930-02010-E3 (oak)

 

I was wondering about that. A couple years ago I looked at my driver's seat and thought it would be a real bitch to remove those clips, what with the hog rings and such. Did you leave the seat installed and just removed the back part?

 

I was disassembling the seat so I could part it out, so I wasn’t really intending on putting it back together. I had the seat back off.

 

Rancho probably has a truck with them, but with what Bartmaster said, they may not be willing to pull it for you. Plus seat may be less desirable to others.

The button part is actually pretty easy to replace. There is a tiny nail, you can see it in this photo sticking up to the left of the hole the headrest post goes into. Just pull that nail up and the button part slides out. There are two springs stock, but as you can see mine only has one. The other one is somewhere in my garage, wherever it landed after it flew out when I was putting seat covers on a few years ago. Works fine with just one.
